"The glory of ancestors sheds a light aroiind 
posterity; it allows neither their good nor bad 
qualities to remain in obscurity." — Sallust. 



EXPLANATORY 
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 

THE system employed in compiling the genealogical section of 
this work is believed to be the most approved now in use, and 
may readily be understood by a little study. The compilers have 
added new features which they believe will be found valuable, both in 
the body of the work and in the index. The ancestral chain, given 
after the name of each descendant having issue, shows the full line of 
descent at a glance. Each descendant has his own number. 

When descendants do not have issue, their full biography will be found 
connected with their names first mentioned, and in the consecutive small 
numbers. When a descendant has issue, his or her name is carried forward 
in the large numbers to the next generation, where the biography is fully 
given, followed by the list of his or her children. 

Each female line ends in the book with the grandchildren of an Ogden 
mother, but the line is continued in the charts, and without numbers. 

Where correspondents sent in tardy data concerning their families, and 
after the editors had systematically arranged the regular descendants by 
consecutive numbers, it became necessary to group the added names in 
the immediate family line, each child taking the parent's number, with 
a letter of the alphabet annexed. 

In cases of intermarriage, and where there was issue, the person bear- 
ing the name Ogden, or the person first recorded in the regular line of 
ancestry, is usually the one carried forward to the next generation. To 
indicate specially the person carried forward, the cross-reference "(See 
No. — )" is employed. 

The usual genealogical terms and abbreviations are used throughout 
the work, viz.: b. — born; cir., circ. — circa, about; d.— died; dau. — 
daughter; d. s. p. — died without issue; d. y. — died young; m. — married; 
s. p. — 5-w^ ^ro/e-, without issue ; unm. — unmarried; w. — wife; wid. — widow 
or widower. 

The editors do not assume that no errors are discoverable in this work. 
A number of conflicting statements sent by different correspondents, and 
a disagreement of old records, were often puzzling to the editors; but 
great care was exercised in settling upon what seemed to them the most 
authentic and trustworthy.

INTRODUCTORY 




HERE is something peculiarly gratifying to the aver- 
age American citizen to be able to trace his lineage 
to the primal days of Colonial life, and especially 
to a worthy, virtuous, and honored ancestor. The 
attention of the living generation may at times be 
more or less diverted by external and transitory 
matters, but there ever abides a deep and undying 
satisfaction in the knowledge that one is heir to 
strong and enduring ancestral character ; in the fact of being able to point 
back to him who first came to the New World, as the Florentine to the 
beautiful bronze gates of his native city. Like those masterpieces that 
Angelo said were fit to be the Gates of Paradise, and which Dante called 
the Golden Gates, so, aback in the centuries, stands the noble character 
of the progenitor of his race. As with the Gates of Florence, time indeed 
may have removed the glitter, but the original bronze with its exquisite 
imagery stands out the more striking and impressive. A line of American 
ancestry that has issued through such a worthy and enduring portal 
of character would be false to their better instincts not to give to their 
progenitor due admiration and reverence, and take a lively interest in 
the doings of his descendants. 

Lord Macaulay well says: "People who take no pride in the noble 
achievements of remote ancestors will never achieve anything worthy to be 
remembered with pride by remote descendants. " Such an ancestral portal 
was John Ogden, the Pilgrim, the first of his line in America, and who was 
happily known as " Good Old John Ogden, " of Elizabethtown, N. J. 



3!ntroDuctort 



It is true that many American families seem indifferent to their past 
history, and are ready to quote Horace: "It is of no consequence of what 
parents a man is born, so he be a man of merit;" yet Bishop Warburton 
aptly says: " High birth is a thing which I never knew any one to disparage 
except those who had it not ; and I never knew any one to make a boast of 
it who had anything else to be proud of. " Plato truly says: " Hereditary 
honors are a noble and splendid treasure to descendants, " and it naturally 
behooves the latter to be faithful to the ancient traditions. 

The true American spirit, and that which should be cherished by worthy 
families, is constantly echoed from the lips of Daniel Webster in his dis- 
course delivered at Plymouth, Dec. 22, 1820, in commemoration of the first 
settlement of New England. His sentiments are so apt, we will quote the 
more fully: "Human and mortal though we are, we are, nevertheless, not 
mere insulated beings, without relation to the past or future. Neither the 
point of time nor the spot of earth, in which we physically live bounds our 
rational and intellectual enjoyments. We live in the past by a knowledge of 
its history, and in the future by hope and anticipation. By ascending to 
an association with our ancestors; by contemplating their example, and 
studying their character; by partaking their sentiments, and imbibing 
their spirit; by accompanying them in their toils; by sympathizing in 
their sufferings, and rejoicing in their successes and their triumphs, — we 
mingle our own existence with theirs and seem to belong to their age. We 
become their contemporaries, live the lives which they lived, endure what 
they endured, and partake in the rewards which they enjoyed. . . . 

"There may be, and there often is, indeed, a regard for ancestry, which 
nourishes only a weak pride; as there is also a care for posterity, which 
only disguises an habitual avarice, or hides the workings of a low and 
grovelling vanity. But there is also a moral and philosophical respect for 
our ancestors, which elevates the character and improves the heart. Next 
to the sense of religious duty and moral feeling, I hardly know what 
should bear with stronger obligation on a liberal and enlightened mind 
than a consciousness of alliance with excellence which is departed; and 
a consciousness, too, that in its acts and conduct, and even in its 
sentiments, it may be actively operating on the happiness of those 
who come after it." 

This is the thought that doubtless prompted Cicero to say: "The best 
inheritance that a father can leave to his children, and which is superior 
to any patrimony, is the glory of his virtue and noble deeds: to disgrace 
which ought to be regarded as base and impious." 



31ntrotiuctot^ 



One of the most important thoughts that should possess an inheritor 
of worthy blood, is that he is a link between the past and the future, and 
that he is to transmit to the succeeding generation the virtues he has 
received from his forefathers. He should be enthused by a study of the 
past, for, as Burke remarks: "People will not look forward to posterity, 
who never look backward to their ancestors." 

There is much fascination in the tracing back of ancestral lines, in spite 
of the many discouragements and the tediousness of the work. The usual 
genealogical difficulties common to all compilers were encountered by Mr. 
Wheeler, but it is highly gratifying that his toils were so richly rewarded. 
The facts underlying the life and character of John Ogden, the Pilgrim, have 
been fully investigated. His sterling character having been transmitted 
through so many honored descendants was doubtless that which prompted 
Mr. William Ogden Wheeler to labor earnestly for eighteen years in com- 
piling so much valuable data connected with his illustrious ancestor and 
the projected lines of descent. While we sincerely regret that Mr. Wheeler 
did not live to see the published results of his years of personal sacrifice and 
labors, we count ourselves most happy in taking the accumulated material 
and rearing a monument to his memory. In a sense, the long period of 
self-sacrificing labor, aided though he was by a competent corps of secre- 
taries, was a period of unrequited toil ; yet he took great delight in the work, 
such as the numerous Ogden Family may never fully appreciate. 

The historical and biographical material in the following pages is 
believed to be trustworthy in every essential detail. That the volume may 
be a fitting tribute to the memory of the compiler is the sincere wish of 

The Editors. 

Sharon, Connecticut, November 15, 1906. 









ENGLISH OGDEN ANCESTRY 

AND DERIVATION OF THE SURNAME 




ROOT-TRACING of the surname Ogden readily leads 
us backward to early Saxon soil. Authorities on 
English surnames generally agree that the name 
comes from the Saxon ock, oak-tree, and den, a 
local termination occurring in the weald of Kent, 
Sussex, and elsewhere, implying a covert and feeding 
place for animals, and synonymous with dean, a 
wooded valley, or tract yielding acorns or mast. 
The surname is thus freely rendered, "the oak valley," "oak dale," 
"vale of oaks," "leafy vale"; or, as William Arthur, M.A., in "An Ety- 
mological Dictionary of Family and Christian Names," says, "the oak vale, 
or shady valley. " In support of this interpretation the fact may be stated 
that on all the escutcheons of the arms-bearing Ogden families of England, 
the oak branch, or oak leaves and acorns are ahvays found, and usually 
in the crest. One of the earliest arms — that of "Okton, " in Guillim's 
"Display of Heraldry" (1724) — has the quartering of the Quaker Ogden 
arms, but in blue, and canton in corner, while the same quartering is 
found in the "Okeden" arms, by Edmondson (1780), in which the 
blue is replaced by red; for "Okeden of Ellingham in Hampshire" 
(1780), the arms consist of "sable, on a fesse argent, between 3 acorns 
gold, as many oak leaves vert," the same display as the Hants family 
of Ogdens of this book. 



Cnglfe]^ €)gDen 3litccjstrr 



When surnames became necessary, it was common to designate a man 
by some distinguishing locaHty, or calHng in Hfe. Thus, John de Oketon 
retained this surname, as he lived near a thickly wooded valley. Many 
old English works give unmistakable evidence that several families of this 
surname, variously spelled, and located in different parts of England, ex- 
tend back to the time of William the Conqueror (i027?-io87). 

Beardsley says that Ogden was first written de Hoghton. Peter de 
Hoton, 1 150 A.D., founded Erden or Arden Priory, a Benedictine nunnery 
near Black Hameldon in the deanery and archdeanery of Cleveland. In 
1200 A.D., John de Hoton, father of Sir John de Oketon, Knight of Row- 
candura, granted mill and water power, and gave two oxgangs of land to 
the parish of Hoton. Burton's "Ecclesiastical History of Yorkshire" 
(1758) gives the foregoing, and mentions many others of the surname, 
and under later dates, while "Hundred Rolls," "Harlem MSS.," "Parlia- 
mentary Writs," "Burton's Antiquities," "Berry's Visitation of Hamp- 
shire, " etc., add many others of the name, coming down to more modern 
times. The various Ogden families (or the civil and church authorities 
for them) often spelled the surname differently, even among their im- 
mediate connections, and, in its mutations, we have "de Oketon," "Oke- 
tone," "Ocktone," "Okedone," "Okedon," "Okeden," "Oakden," 
"Okden," and finally "Ogden." The earliest date of the present spell- 
ing of the surname is circa 1500 A.D., while some of the earlier spellings, 
especially "Okeden," are found as late as 1738. 

To discover the immediate family connection in England of John 
Ogden, of Elizabethtown, N. J., has long been a perplexing problem. The 
name appears on the parish records of several different localities in Eng- 
land, and all efforts to clearly trace these families to a common ancestor 
have failed. 

There seems small room for doubt, however, that John Ogden, the 
Pilgrim, whom we have traced back in America to his settlement at 
Southampton, on Long Island, in 1640, came there with his wife and three 
oldest children, from Bradley Plain, in Co. Southants (Southampton), 
and that several generations of his forefathers had lived there before him. 
This is shown in part by "Berry's Visitation of Hants" (1634), and the 
rest is confirmed by a genealogist* who claims personal knowledge of the 
church records at Bradley Plain, Hampshire, and of several other English 
records and authorities.

The earliest discoverable ancestor from whom John Ogden was de- 
scended appears to be one Robert Ogden, and the time the middle of the 
fifteenth century. In tracing his line of descent, we will, for the purposes 
of this record, use the present spelling of the surname. 

1. Robert Ogden. The first record found of him is in the year 1453 
A.D., when he appears as a witness to a grant of land in Nutley, Hampshire. 
He again appears with others in 1457, in connection with a post-mortem 
search concerning lands in Nutley, belonging to one Joan Ogden, of 
Ellingham, Co. Southants. Nothing is said of relationship, but from the 
fact that it was customary for the nearest relative to settle the estate of 
deceased persons, and the two sons being named, it is a fair presumption 
that Joan Ogden was his wife.

Sept. 19, 1 5 13, which recites that Mabel, the wife of Richard Ogden, 
then released to Thomas Delavale, of Lyndhurst, land, which she had 
from her father, Johannes de Hoogan, late of Lyndhurst, deceased. Also 
other land, which she and her husband had of Walter de Hoogan, her 
father's brother, by deed dated Mar. 8, 1503, and to which deed William 
Ogden, of Ellingham, had signed his name as a witness.

JOHN OGDEN, THE PILGRIM 

HE providential opening of a new world and a new 
era in governmental matters during the sixteenth 
and seventeenth centuries, is a subject of deep 
interest to the average student of national drift 
and tendency. No great epoch of national life 
has developed in a day. The causes leading to 
any important revolution in thought and pro- 
cedure are ever far-reaching, usually beginning 
long before they converge to a crisis and crystal- 
lize in definite and determinate action. 

The causes of the American Revolution began before the first embarka- 
tion of emigrants to the New World. The " Magna Charta" wrung from 
King John of England in 12 15 had been the entering wedge, but it was 
more than five and a half centuries before the permanent rupture of the 
Anglo-Saxon race occurred under the reign of King George III. It was not 
a question of physical suffering of the subjects of the English crown, but, 
like all revolutions, was one deeply seated in the moral sense of the nation. 
The superstitious veneration for the inherent rights of the sovereign was 
giving way to the demands of an enlightened brain and conscience, and the 
deeper belief in the Fatherhood of God, and the Brotherhood of Man. The 
"Declaration of Independence" was written in the hearts of the Pilgrims 
and their fellow colonists long before it was spread upon parchment in 1776. 
It is true that a close study of the "good old times" reveals the pres- 



II 



g;ol)n €>gt)en, Ci^t ^Bilgnm 



ence and doings of many selfish and unscrupulous men, and the Colonial 
period thus loses much of its pristine fascination; yet the sturdy, self- 
poised, resolute, and godly Pilgrims and Quakers, whose righteous 
principles and lives were interwoven in the American fabric of civil 
and religious liberties, are to be held in the highest veneration by their 
numerous descendants. To this class belonged John Ogden, the Pilgrim, 
who, with other immigrants, came from England early in 1640, and prob- 
ably landed at Southampton, L. I., where he took up residence. 

HIS MARRIAGE AND EMIGRATION 

As seen in the preceding chapter on English Ogden ancestry, John 
Ogden was born in Bradley Plain, Hampshire, England, Sept. 19, 1609, 
where he married, May 8, 1637, Jane Bond, daughter of Jonathan Bond. 
Three children were born to them in England, the latter two being twins. 
He had acquired property, and prior to his emigration to the New World, 
conveyed Oct. 18, 1639, to Ezekiel Howard, also of Bradley Plain, a garden, 
an orchard, four acres of pasture, and two acres of woodland, with 
appurtenances. 

What is gleaned of John Ogden 's public record in America is chiefly 
taken from "Southampton Records," "Stamford Notes," "Fairfield 
Notes," "Colonial Records of Connecticut," "Lamb's History of New 
York," " Hatfield's History of EHzabeth," and " Archives of New Jersey." 
In many instances the original documents are closely followed in direct 
quotations, this being thought more interesting than giving the various 
entries a more modern literary dress. The data will also be given as 
far as possible in chronological order. 

AT SOUTHAMPTON, L. I., 164O 

The name of the vessel in which John Ogden, the Pilgrim, and his fellow 
emigrants sailed is not known, but the vessel probably landed at South- 
ampton, on the southern shore of Long Island, etirly in 1640. The first 
mention of John Ogden 's name is in connection with his taking up resi- 
dence at this place, and being one to whom was granted, Apr. 17, 1640, the 
tract known as Shinnecock Hill, which adjoined Southampton on the west. 
He was a leader among the settlers in founding the town. 

A PROBLEM 

A perplexity must here be noted that is met in the early colonial records 
prior to 1665, concerning two contemporary John Ogdens. John Ogden, 

12 



91ol^n ^qfitn, Cl^e ^Bilgrim 



the Pilgrim, had a cousin John Ogden, son of his uncle Thomas Ogden 
(b. 1565), and who was nine years his senior. He had conveyed a messuage 
and tenement situated in Bramshaw, England, to his sister Mary, on Mar, 
7, 1638, about which time he emigrated to the New Haven Colony, thus 
coming to America about two years before John Ogden, the Pilgrim. He 
probably became one of the first settlers of Stamford, Conn. He was 
closely associated in the New World with his father-in-law, John Budd, 
whose daughter Judith became his second wife, Apr. 19, 1638, and doubt- 
less soon after his immigration. 

He is probably the John Ogden who was connected with the building 
of a mill-dam, as recorded in the Stamford records. In Sept., 1641, the 
mill was sold to Thurston Raynor, ' ' he to take her as she now stands for 
£^4, I OS. at common charge according to a bargain made between John 
Ogden and Mitchell for building a dam. " 

On Dec. 7, 1641, John Ogden was granted ten acres of land beside his 
house lot at Stamford. During the same month he paid his taxes to the 
town at the rate of 30s. 5d. per acre. 

On Jan. 7, 1642, several men claimed damages caused by the mill, among 
them being John Ogden, whose claim was for ;^i, 19s. 3d. 

This John Ogden is known to modern writers as "John Ogden of Rye, " 
because he became associated with his father-in-law, John Budd, in mill 
property at the new settlement at Rye, and took up residence there. Rye 
is near the western end of Long Island Sound, on the mainland, and was 
settled in 1660; it was first under the jurisdiction of Connecticut, but in 
1683 was transferred to New York, being now in Westchester Co. This 
John Ogden was a prominent man among the settlers, and a man of great 
strength of character. He is probably the John Ogden who joined with 
other New England men in sending a petition to the King, 1 665-1 667. 
At General Court held at Hartford, Oct. 8, 1674, John Ogden was named 
as a deputy Governor for the Colony of Rye. The following year, Apr. 20, 
1675, John Winthrop was made Governor, and John Ogden assistant Gov- 
ernor of the Colony of Connecticut. In 1679 the town of Rye granted John 
Ogden 48 or 50 acres by the waterside at Fishing Rock, for the purpose of 
building a house and wharf. In May, 1682, John Ogden appeared before 
the court in Hartford, and was granted 20 acres of land for a pasture. 
He also brought forward some matters of dispute about the boundary 
lines between New York and Connecticut, and was the bearer of a 
letter from the General Court at Hartford to the Governor of New 
York, relating to it. 

13 



31o]^n €)gDen, Cl^e i^Ugrim 



The inventory of his estate is exhibited before the Court at Fairfield by 
Judith, his widow, on Aug. 7, 1682, the same year his cousin, John Ogden, 
the Pilgrim, died. 

Both John Ogdens owned property in various places, and it is unneces- 
sary to suppose they changed residence as often as they acquired new hold- 
ings. The chief difficulty lies in keeping the two men separate in the rec- 
ord entries for the first 25 years after emigration, and at which time John 
Ogden, the Pilgrim, removed to Elizabethtown, N. J. John Ogden, of 
Rye, evidently resided in southern Connecticut, and chiefly at Rye, during 
his Hfe in the New World, while John Ogden, the Pilgrim, made Long Island 
his home prior to his residence in New Jersey. The latter is doubtless 
meant when connected with his brother Richard, or when he is referred to 
as John Ogden, Sr., in distinction from his son, John, Jr. He is often men- 
tioned as "John Ogden, of Southampton," or of "North Sea" or "North- 
ampton," or "of Feversham," these places being adjacent in Long Island, 
and under the same colonial jurisdiction, and in which places he owned 
property. When he was contemplating removing to New Jersey he sold 
his "housing and home lot, etc.," in Southampton to his cousin, John of 
Rye, who made it over to his son-in-law, John Woodruff, the following 
year. This will appear later in the records. 

BUILDING OF CHURCH AT NEW AMSTERDAM, 1 642 

It is evident from the data at hand that John Ogden, the Pilgrim, and 
his brother Richard were the builders of Gov. Kieft's stone church at New 
Amsterdam. Various authorities, and chiefly "Hatfield's Hist, of Eliza- 
beth," state that John Ogden and his brother Richard built it, and that they 
were then (1642) of Stamford. Possibly the brothers saw greater induce- 
ments at the latter settlement, and soon after landing at Southampton, 
threw in their lot with the Stamford settlers, for it would be natural to sup- 
pose that the two brothers remained together during the first years of their 
American residency. The " Newark Town Records " refer to David Ogden, 
the son of John, the Pilgrim, as a "stone church builder, " and it is highly 
probable that he learned the trade from his father. As the existent author- 
ities name John Ogden, the Pilgrim, and his brother Richard as the 
builders, we give the following condensed article concerning the erection 
of the church, from " Hatfield's Hist, of Elizabeth." 

A contract was drawn up in May, 1642, setting forth an agreement 
between Governor William Kieft, Gisbert op Dyck, and Thomas Willet, 
of New Amsterdam, Church-wardens, to build a stone church in the fort,

72 ft. by 50 ft. and 16 ft. above the soil, for the sum of 2500 guilders (about 
$1000), to be paid in cash, beaver or other merchandise; if the work was 
done "in a workmanlike manner" 100 extra guilders were to be paid the 
contractors, John Ogden and his brother Richard, both of Stamford, 
Conn. It was stipulated that the latter should be allowed the use of the 
company's boat to ferry the "stone ashore near the fort, the wardens agree- 
ing to carry the stone from the shore to the fort, and to furnish the lime 
with which to lay them. There were objectors to the project, who claimed 
the " kerck" would occupy one-fourth of the fort area and shut off the south- 
east wind from the grist-mill upon which the settlers depended for the 
grinding of their corn. The Indian wars retarded the building of the church, 
which was not finished in 1645, but in due time the steep double-pointed 
roof arose over the walls of the fort. Gov. Kieft had a marble slab inserted 
in the front, which was thus inscribed : 

Ao. Do. M.D.CXLII 

W. Kieft Dr. Gr. 

Heeft de Gemeente Desen 

Temple doen Bouwen. 

Translated, we have: "Anno Domini 1642 Wilhelm Kieft Director 
General, hath the commonalty caused to build this temple." A century 
later the church was burned, and the slab was buried in the debris ; but 
when the fort was demolished in 1789 to make room for the Government 
House, the slab was recovered, and for safe keeping was placed in the 
Dutch Church in Garden St., where it remained until both were destroyed 
in the fire of 1835. 

AT HEMPSTEAD, L. I., 1644 

There was restiveness among the settlers at Stamford, Conn., because 
of the limited franchise accorded them under the jurisdiction of the New 
Haven Colony, and after three years' residence, and during, 1644, John 
Ogden and several of the settlers decided to try their fortunes under the 
Dutch Government on Long Island, and accordingly removed and located 
at Hempstead. In order to acquire certain rights, privileges, and govern- 
mental protection, they made application to Gov. Wm. Kieft at New 
Amsterdam, who issued to them a patent to "the Great Plains." An 
abridgment of the document, giving its chief features, is as follows : 

Nov. I, 1644. William Kieft, the Dutch Governor of New Netherlands, 
sells to Rev. Robert Fordham, John Stricklan, John Ogden, John Karman, 
John Lawrence and Jonas Wood, their heirs, etc., or their associates or any 

IS 



91ol)n ^D^Dtn, Ci^e ^Bilgrim 



they shall join in association with them : A certain tract of land upon and 
about a place called the Great Plains on Long Island from the East River 
to the South Sea, and from a certain harbor commonly called Hempstead 
Bay and westward as far as Matthew Garritson's Bay, to begin at the head 
of the said two Bays and to run in direct lines that they may be the 
same latitude in breadth on the South side as on the North side. They to 
enjoy the same in as large and ample manner as their own free land of 
inheritance. In case the above patentees "settle loo families vpon the land 
inside 5 years then they shall have power to build a Town or Towns with 
necessary fortifications. A Temple or Temples to use and exercise their 
reformed religions which they possess, with the ecclesiastical discipline 
thereunto belonging. ' ' To erect a body politic or civil combination among 
themselves, to nominate magistrates not more than eight of the ablest and 
best approved men among them, and present them to the Governor (for 
the time being) for him to elect and establish them for the execution of 
Government. 

RETURNS TO SOUTHAMPTON 

He resided at Hempstead but a few years, becoming much dissatisfied 
with the treatment which the Dutch Government accorded the Indians, 
many of whom were put to death. His righteous soul abhorring this 
unjust treatment of the aborigines, he removed to the eastern end of Long 
Island to dwell among his own countrymen. 

In 1647 he obtained permission of the Southampton authorities to 
plant a colony of six families at "North Sea" (Great Peconic Bay) about 
three miles north of Southampton. Two or three years elapsed before his 
removal and planting of his colony at " North Sea, " which later was called 
Northampton. 

One of the enterprises which engaged the attention of John Ogden was 
whaling, an industry in which he was interested as late as 1668. The fol- 
lowing entry from the " Southampton Records " probably makes mention of 
the first whaling company on Long Island. It is under date of Jan. 30, 1 650. 
"It is ordered at the saide generall court that Mr. lohn Ogden Senior of 
w Northampton shall have free liberty without interruption from the Inhab- 

itants of Southampton to kill whales vpon the South sea [Ocean] at or 
within any part of the bounds of the saide towne for the space of seaven 
yeares next ensueing the date hereof and that in that space noe liberty 
shall be granted to any by the saide inhabitants to any other person or 
persons to kill or strike any within the bounds of the saide towne, this

he or his company doe proceed in the same design and do not delay but do 
some what effectual in the business within a yeare after this present day, 
as alsoe the saide Mr. lohn Ogden nor his company shall not deny the townes 
inhabitants claiming priviledge formerly belonging to them in the dead 
whales yt shall be accidentally cast vpon the shoares, but yf the saide lohn 
Ogden or his company doe not kill in the design a whale or whales within 
the space of two yeares after the date hereof then his liberty is annulled 
and to return againe to the towne. 

"Witness: Richard Mills, 

Secretary." 

On Aug. 2 1, 1654, the above-said liberty of striking whales is given to 
"Mr. Odell and Mr. Ogden and their company vpon the same termes with 
the exceptions following, ist yf any whale come within Shinecock bay gut 
they the said company are not to medle with them, nor any other whale 
or whales wherein there is noe sign of their killing them at sea, but they 
shall belong unto the town as formerly. By the said signes of said company 
their killing any whale is to be understood to be by harping irons vpon 
them or [two words gone]." 

Under date of Sept. 3, 1650, the following land item is recorded: " It is 
granted by the major part of this towne that Mr. Ogden and his company 
shall have Cow Neck and lefferies Neck [near " North Sea"] for their owne 
proper right, also that they shall have for their planteing land in either or 
both of said necks three hundred 24 acres, prouided they settle vpon it, 
and vpon the same grant they are to have all the meadow betwixt the 
brooke by the Sachems house and Hogneck spring, for their proper right 
provided it bee a mile from the sea side, vpon these conditions following 
that they must pay to all common rates of the towne at the rate of 9 hun- 
dred pounds according to the taking vp of those men that dwell there, 
2ndly that hee shall place there six families that shall live there and have 
their abode, 3d that in case that the whole bounds of the town come to 
be stinted for cattle that they must be stinted also as they are that live at 
the towne by the same rule. In common rates as aforesaid is alsoe included 
the ministers meenes. " 

John Ogden was made Freeman at Southampton, Mar. 31, 1650. 
" Southampton Aprill. It is ordered uppon the 31st of March 1650 by the 
General Court that Mr. Thomas Topping & Mr. lohn Ogden were chosen

His next office was that of magistrate: "Vpon the 7th day of October 
1650 being the day of Election Mr. Edward Howell was chosen magistrate 
of Southampton primus, alsoe Mr. Thomas Topping secundus, Mr. lohn 
Ogden tertius. " 

His re-election is thus entered: "Vpon the 6th day of Octob 1651 
being the day of election were chosen by the freemen at the General Court 
for magistrates Imprimis Mr. Edward Howell, secundus Capt. Thomas 
Topping, tertius Mr. lohn Ogden." He was again elected magistrate 
" October ye 6 1659. " 

Several legal actions are next recorded: "Mar. 10, 1651, an action 
of tresspass by Richard Mills of Southampton against lohn Ogden Sr. 
defendant. " 

Under same date, an action of trespass is entered by John Ogden, Sr., 
of North Sea, plaintiff, against Richard Mills of Southampton, defendant. 

"Mar. II, 1 65 1 jury find for Mr. lohn Ogden in both actions, assessing 
vpon Mr. Mills 40s. damage with increase of court charges. " 

" Mar. II, 1 65 1. An action of tresspass vpon the case entered by Mr. 
lohn Ogden of Northampt. sea against lohn Coopr of Southampton defen- 
dant. " The jury find the same day for plaintiff 2d. damage with court 
charges. Mr. Cooper appealed to the General Court, which tried the case 
and rendered a decision Nov. 3, 165 1, in favor of John Ogden. 

Feb. 25, 1652. "Mr. Stanborogh plf in an action of debt in the behalf of 
Mr. Robert Scott of Boston merchant, against Mr. lohn Ogden defendant." 
On Mar. i, following, the case w^as settled by arbitration. 

"At the aforesaid Cort Aprill the 4, 1654 It is ordered that Mr lohn 
Ogden Sen & lonas Wood shall bee the prizers of the goods and chattells 
belonging to Wm Paine of late deceased." 

On Apr. 15, 1656, "Mr. Ogden acknowledgeth yt Mr Odell his lotment 
in Sagaponack devision belongeth to him. " 

On Mar. 6, 1657, Mr. John Ogden was one of six men chosen at town 
meeting to arbitrate concerning land at Southampton which was claimed by 
men of East Hampton. 

Apr. 30, 1657, John Ogden was named as one of forty men who were to 
have "half a pound of powder a peece delivered unto ye undernamed per- 
sons out of ye magazen. " 

At town meeting held June 2, 1657, it was voted that Edward Howell 
and John Ogden should adjudge unlawful cattle and horses in the ox pas- 
ture and turn them out. They shall also judge if fence of ox pasture is 
sufficient, and whosoever is found defective in their fence shall make it

upon forfeiture of 5s. a pole for every neglect; and if found within the ox 
pasture after being turned, out by the aforesaid men, they shall forfeit 
2S. a beast to be levied by way of execution. 

Under date of June 5, 1657, is recorded: " lohn Ogden hath bought 
of Samuel Dayton his house and home lot and five acres in the ten acre 
lotts, and 4 in coopers neck, and two acres more in another place also he

On Jan. 10, 1658, at town meeting, it was granted to John Ogden that 
he have that part of swamp that lies against his lot "in Coopers lott. " 

At quarter court on Mar. i, 1658, John Ogden and Samuel Clark are 
appointed administrators for the estate of one Mark Meggs. On June 22, 
following, they reported at court that they had "sold at an outcry" the 
following items belonging to the estate : 

" The bay mare sould for 7;^, is. od. 

Mr. Ogden the 4 shotes (?) 2, 4, o.

The court then ordered that the proceeds of sale be handed to Mr. 
John Ogden and Samuel Clark in payment of Meggs' debts. John Scott 
not having paid for house, etc., the court ordered that he pay to the Mar- 
shal 2£ for contempt of court order and court charge. 

May 5, 1658, by majority vote at town meeting, John Ogden is directed 
to send over all money in constable's hands to discharge the town's debts, 
and to act in the town's behalf in anything he conceives may " redown " 
to the good of the town.

The integrity and ability of John Ogden in pubHc affairs are attested by 
the fact that he sat in General Court as Representative from Southampton 
in May, 1659, and in the Upper House May, 1661, and at subsequent periods. 
He is many times mentioned in the records as sitting upon juries. 

His extensive dealings in real estate are indicated by the following 
entries of the " Southampton Records: " 

"My 25 1659, Mr Ogden acknowledges that hee hath sould vnto Ellis 
Cooke and Isaac Willman the division of Sagaponack at mecox that was 
formerly Goodman Whites, which lieth for twe acres. 

"At the same time Mr. Iohn Ogden acknowledge th hee hath sould vnto 
Ellis Cooke and Isaack Willman one allotment of Sagaponack division 
numb 32 that was formerly Isaack Willman allso hee acknowledgth hee 
hath sould vnto ElHs and the said Isaac anothr lott that was fermely in 
the hands of Mr loanes at mee cooks, in numb t,^, also anothr lot lately in 
the hands of Iohn lessup & lonas Bour Numb 35, also an acre and half 
lately in the hands of Iohn White and lonas Bour lying between Edward 
loanes and Isaack Willman." 

At Town Meeting held Nov. 25, 1659, John Ogden was one of twelve 
men chosen to regulate the town papers and writings, to "cashiere those 
that are in their ludgement vnnecessary" and put select documents in 
convenient form for the town's use. Also to select all laws from the law 
book at Hartford that apply to the town. Each man was to forfeit to the 

20

town 2S. 6d.. per day if he did not have reasonable cause for his absence 
while the board was sitting. 

On Nov. 29, 1659, at Town Meeting, John Ogden contracts to put a floor 
and seating in the meeting house at an estimated cost of £60, the cost to 
be taken from moneys due from the Indians by virtue of covenants and 
court orders held at Hartford. It seems that £40 in excess of the afore- 
said amount will be due from the Indians within five years, and John Ogden 
is to pass this sum to the town authorities. He agrees that there shall be 
no disturbance with the Indians in collections, and that they shall not be 
held for debt, or be dispossessed of their property, should they leave it in 
the meantime. The Shinnecock Indians at this time owed John Ogden 
;;^4oo, for which Wyandanch, the chief, stood sponsor. 

Feb. 17, 1 66 1, "It is ordered that Christopher ffoster and Henry Pier- 
son shall assist Mr lohn Ogden or Samuel Cleark to lay out the land which, 
(according to a vote passed or order made Ian. 22, 1660) was granted vnto 
the Northsea Inhabitants, whoe are to satisfy the sd men for their labour 
in laying out ye sd land, and what ever the sd layers out act and doe in 
laying out any pt or parcell of land as aforesaid it being according to theire 
discretion, it shall stand authentick forever to them to whom it Shall in 
particular belong. ' ' 

"October the 6th or 7th, 166 1. at a Towne Meeting Chosen for Magis-

When John Scott sold property to a company Feb. 2, 1663, it was 
described as lying west of Southampton bounds, and as having been 
purchased of John Ogden, who had received deed for the same from 
Sachem Wyandanch, May 12, 1659. In the transfer, John Ogden is said 
to be of Feversham. Bridgehampton, that was located east of South- 
ampton, was first called "Faversham" or "Feversham," after a town 
in Kent, England. John Ogden possibly for a time lived near Bridge- 
hampton, and so is called "from Feversham" by some writers. 

Mar. I, 1663. "Mr lohn Ogden acknowledges to have sold to Ellis 
Cooke the land he bought of William Ludlam, the land being at Mecocks, 
one parcel being all that field that vpon the laying out of that division lay 
betweene the highw^ay, next the millers and the next creek on the east, or 
southeast, the other parcel lying on little neck, on the west side of the creek 
which is on the west side of Arthur Howells land, and was sometime in 
possession of Richard Woodhull.

In a treaty made Feb. 1 1, 1663, between the English and the Shinnecock 
Indians, the latter are to obey English laws, and be privileged to take up 
grievances with other Indian tribes. The Shinnecock Indians agree to pay 
the ;£4o due the English of Southampton, and relieve John Ogden of said 
debt. It appears the Indians did not pay this amount as agreed by treaty, 
and on Nov. 7, 1667, John Ogden employed Capt. John Howell and Henry 
Pierson, his attorneys, to collect the ;!^4o from the Indians. 

"August this 17 1663 This present wrighting is to testifie to all whom 
it may concern that I lohn Ogden of Northampton on Long Island doe 
acknowledge myself to be engaged to Ales Stanbrow and to lohn Wheeler 
her Sonne the full & just sum of forty two pounds & fifteen shillins for &

When John Ogden, the Pilgrim, was past 54 years of age, and after 
having spent 24 years on Long Island, he evidently determined to remove 
to New Jersey, and began to dispose of his real estate. The Southampton 
Records, under date of Apr. 12, 1664, give the first recorded dealings with 
his cousin, John Ogden, of Rye, and read as follows: 

"lohn Ogden of this town [Southampton] doth acknowledge to have 
sold and delivered to his uncle [cousin] Mr lohn Ogden, his houseing 
and home lot with all ye land lying at the reare thereof and allsoe 
his fifteene accres lying at the Long Springs, and alsoe the priviledges 
to a fifty pound lot." 

Apr. 25, 1664. "Christopher ffoster & Henry Pierson are appoynted 
to lay out the land between ye neighbors about lohn Ogden in ye rear 
devision. "

Sept. 7, 1665. "Mr lohn Ogden [of Rye] doth acknowledge that what 
land or houseing or privilidges thereto belonging which he bought of his 
cousin lohn Ogden, hee ye said Mr Ogden did make over all the same vnto 
his sone in law lohn Woodruff, that it became his. " 

Under same date: "lohn Woodruff lun doth acknowledge to have 
sould and delivered to Robert Woolley all that housing and land and privi- 
leges thereto belonging which Mr lohn Ogden procured of lohn Ogden 
of Southampton, and ye said Mr Ogden made over vnto him the said lohn 
Woodruff, ye said bargain being vpon Record in this book. 

John Ogden 's prominence as a legislator and land owner is shown by 
the leaving of his name to different localities. Under date of May 29, 1673, 
and at a town meeting, it was determined to permit all owners of meadow 
land to fence and improve their property. In description of the various 
lots, No. 6 was said to be located on a highway running to the beach 
by "Ogden's Pond." "Ogden's Neck" is another lot and was situated 
on Shinnecock Bay. Ogden's Neck is also mentioned July 27, 1708, in 
connection with the sale of adjoining lots. 

The final disposal of his properties at North Sea (Northampton) and 
at Southampton, as shown by the following entries, closes up his Long 
Island affairs; 

Sept. 6, 1665. "Mr lohn Ogden doth acknowledge to have imparted 
sould made over and delivered all his land lying neere the north sea howses, 
in that place comonly called the field by the Clay pits, (except ye quan-

JOHN OGDEN AT ELIZABETHTOWN, N. J. 

It is presumed that John Ogden, with other English settlers, after 
spending about 24 years on Long Island, saw greater possibilities of 
material advancement by transferring their interests to New Jersey. The 
preliminary step was the securing of a patent from Gov. Nicolls, of that 
province. " Hatfield's History of Elizabeth " is our chief authority for the 
further record of John Ogden 's public life and doings. 

In the Elizabeth Town Patent, granted Dec. i, 1664, by Gov. Richard 
Nicolls under his Royal Highness ye Duke of York, he names as patentees, 
"Cap' John Baker of new Yorke, John Ogden of Northampton, John 
Baily and Luke watson of Jemaico on Long Island and their Associates 
their heirs Execu''^ admin''^ and assigns the said parcell of Land Bounded 
on the South By a River commonly called the Raritans River — On the 
East by y^ sea w"^ partes Staten Island and the main, to Run Northwards 
up after cull Bay Till you come to the first River w''*' sets westwards out 
of the s"^ bay. And To Run west Into the Countery Twice the Length of the 
Breadth thereof from the North To the South of the aforementioned 
Bounds." The patentees were to pay yearly rental to the Duke of York, 
open the newly-acquired tract of land for settlers at once, who are to first 
ask the liberty of doing so of the patentees. Said settlers were to be assured 
of all privileges secured to other English colonists. 

The integrity of John Ogden and his associates is shown by the fact 
that they first secured the consent of habitation from the Indians and 
bought the Elizabeth Town tract of them Oct. 25, 1664, a month before the 
patent was granted by the English Governor. The final payment of " four 
hundred fathom of white wampom" was acknowledged Nov. 24, 1665, this 
payment becoming due a year after entry upon the tract. Appended to 
the Indian deed is the following receipt: "Received of John Ogden in part 
of the above specified foure hundred feet of wampum I say Received one 

24 



3;ol)n €>gDcn, Cl)e J^ilgrim 



hundred fathom of wampum by mee the i8 of August 1665 " The Sachems 
who signed the deed were Mattano, Sewak Herones, and Warinanco, of 
Staten Id. The Indian name of the country west of Staten Id. was " Schey- 
ichbi, " while the Dutch called Newark Bay and territory adjoining 
"Achter Kol. " 

John Ogden was the first of 65 men who took the oath of allegiance 
to King Charles II. on Feb. 19, 1665. Among them were his sons John, Jr., 
David and Jonathan. His younger sons took the oath later upon coming 
to their majority. 

He was settled upon the Elizabeth Town tract as early as the first of 
Aug. 1665, and increased his holdings that year by buying the rights in the 
tract held by Daniel and Nathaniel Denton. His house was doubtless 
located on Point road, now Elizabeth Ave., and near where Robert Ogden, 
his great-grandson, and Col. Barber, afterward lived. 

Tradition says the new town was named after Lady Elizabeth, the wife 
"of Sir George Carteret; who, with John, Lord Berkeley, were granted by 
the Duke of York in 1664 the territory included in the State of New Jersey, 
or Nova CcEsarea, the name being given in honor of Carteret's administra- 
tion of the Isle of Jersey, England. The proprietors appointed Philip 
Carteret first Proprietary Governor. When he arrived July 29, 1665, he 
determined to locate himself with the ' ' Ogden company ' ' and make their 
plantation the seat of his government. That the new governor soon rec- 
ognized the worth of John Ogden is seen in the fact that he appointed him 
Justice of the Peace Oct. 26, 1665. The commission reads as follows: 

"By Philip Carterett Esq'' Governour, 
of the Province of New Jersey 

"Whereas, I have conceived a good Opinion of the ability prudence and Integrity of 
you John Ogden Gentleman, In the management of Publique affairs, I have therefore 
thought fitt, & doe by these presents Constitute & appoint you the said John Ogden to

MADE DEPUTY GOVERNOR 

The high regard and confidence of Gov. Carteret is further manifested 
in the following commission, making John Ogden a member of his 
Council, or Deputy Governor: 

"To my trusty & Well beloved ffriend 
John Ogden Esq: 

" Whereas I am assured of y<^ knowledge, Wisdome, Prudence, & Integrity In the man-

The new town being so auspiciously begun on the broad foundation of 
fraternity and justice, John Ogden laying the chief corner stone, many 
colonists were soon attracted by its exceptional privileges and advantages. 
A number of settlers at Newbury, Mass., lacking sufficient farm lands, sent 
a deputation with instructions, that if pleased, they should secure an eli- 
gible location for a town upon the new company's tract. The deputies 
were hospitably entertained, and they concluded to purchase that part of 
the Elizabeth town patent lying between Raritan and Rahway rivers. 
They applied for two tow^nships, for which Gov. Carteret issued the necessary 
permit May 21, 1666. The deed was duly executed and given to them Dec. 
II, 1666, by Carteret, Ogden and Watson, representing the Associates of 
the Town. These latter three men became the only persons entitled to con- 
trol and convey property that lay within the original "bill of sale" from 
the Indians made Oct. 28, 1664, and Nicholl's patent of Dec. i, 1664. To 
this end the Town Meeting voted them "the one moiety or half part" of 
their purchased possession, the consideration expressed in the deed being 
£So sterling, which more than reimbursed the Associates for their original 
outlay. 

The boundary line between Elizabethtown and Newark needed adjust- 
ment, and John Ogden, Sr., Luke Watson, Robert Bond, and Jeffry Jones 
were selected to meet the commissioners from Newark to establish the line. 

26 



gioi^n €)gDen, Ci^e J^ilgtim 



They met for this purpose, May 20, 1668. The happy outcome of the matter 
is shown by an affidavit of Joseph Woodruff of EHzabethtown, made July 
26, 1743, before Judge Joseph Bonnel, of the same place. He chanced 
to be at Milford, Conn., about the year 1699, when he heard Gov. Treat say, 
"That the inhabitants of Newark did first settle under the Elizabeth Town 
Purchase ; & did allow the Newark river to be the bounds of the said Pur- 
chase ; & said, that the Elizabeth Town people was so kind to the Newark 
people, that they could never reward them enough. And further this 
deponent saith, That he, at that time, heard the said Governor tell after 
what manner the Line was settled between the two towns; and that it 
was done in so loving and solemn a manner that he thought it ought never 
to be removed; for he (the said Governor) himself being among them at 
that time, prayed with them on Dividend-Hill, (so-called) that there might 
be a good agreement between them ; and that it was agreed upon, by the 
settlers of each town, that the Line between them should stand and remain 
from Dividend-Hill, to run a northwest course ; and the Governor said, 
that, after the agreement, Mr. John Ogden (being one of the first purchasers) 
prayed among the people, and returned thanks for their loving agreement. " 
The kind, liberal, and devout spirit of John Ogden and his associates 
in the above instance prompted Mrs. E. C. Kinney to write the following 
poem in 1846. 

"DIVIDEND HILL. 

"Pause here, O Muse! that Fancy's eye 

May trace the footprints still 
Of men that, centuries gone by, 

With prayer ordained this hill; 
As lifts the misty veil of years, 

Such visions here arise 
As when the glorious Past appears 

Before enchanted eyes. 

"I see, from midst the faithful few 

Whose deeds yet live sublime — 
Whose guileless spirits, brave as true 

Are models for all time, 
A group upon this height convened — 

In solemn prayer they stand — 
Men, on whose sturdy wisdom leaned 

The settlers of our land. 

"In mutual love the line they trace 

That will their homes divide, 
And ever mark the chosen place 

That prayer hath sanctified; 

27 



giol)n £)gt)cn, Cl^e iBilgnm 



And here it stands — a temple old, 

Which crumbling — Time still braves; 

Though ages have their cycles rolled 
Above those patriots' graves. 

"As Christ transfigured on the height 

The three beheld with awe, 
And near his radiant form, in white 

The ancient prophets saw; 
So, on this summit I behold 

With beatific sight. 
Once more our praying sires of old, 

As spirits clothed in light. 

"A halo crowns the sacred hill, 

And thence glad voices raise 
A song that doth the concave fill — 

Their prayers are turned to praise! 
Art may not for these saints of old 

The marble urn invent; 
Yet here the Future shall behold 

Their Heaven-built monument." 



MADE BURGESS 

In the Legislature constituted at Elizabethtown May 26, 1668, John 
Ogden was chosen as one of the Burgesses, In order to carry on his improve- 
ments, or to cancel previous obligations, he borrowed, Oct. 9, 1668, of Cor- 
nelius Steenwick, a wealthy merchant, and Mayor of the City of New York, 
;^i9i 5s.," one fourth part thereof to be paid in good Wheat at 4/5 p*" Bushell 
one fourth part in good drie Ox hides at 6 stivers p'' pound dutch weight 
One fourth part in good merchantable Tobacco at 4 stivers p'' pound like 
weight and one fourth part in Good Corn fed fat Pork well packt in casks 
and delivered at New Yorke at Three Pounds ten Shillings p"" Barrell." 
As security, he mortgaged, Apr. 29, 1669, "a Certain Water Mill now in my 
Tenure or Occupation, near unto the Mansion or Dwelling House of Gov. 
Carterett in Elizabeth Towne. " 

This mill was located on Broad street immediately west of the stone 
bridge, and south of the Presbyterian Church. The mill, and the dam 
across the creek just above, were doubtless constructed by John Ogden, 
Sr. [See Map.] ^ 

At this time whales were abundant on all the coast, and a whaling com- 
pany was organized at Elizabethtown, which obtained a charter from the 
Government Feb. 15, 1669, granting to "John Ogden, sen*"., Caleb Carwithy, 
Jacob Moleing [Melyen], Wm. Johnson, and Jeffry Jones, all of Elizabeth

Town and their companie consisting of 21 persons," the exclusive right, 
for three years, of taking whales along the coast from Barnegat to the 
eastern part of the province, one twentieth part of the oil in casks to be 
given to the Lords Proprietors. 

Gov. Carteret became somewhat imperious in giving away land in 
Elizabethtown, and at a "Town Meeting 226. Jan'y, 1671, Mr. Treat 
and Lieut Swain are deputed, to Take the first opportunity to Advise 
with Mr. Ogden, or any other they see Cause, what may be the Safest 
and Best Course to be taken for the Town, about our Lands and 
Settlements here." 

Gov. Carteret and his secretary Wm. Pardon having destroyed the rec- 
ords of General Assembly of Mar. 26, 1672, they found the atmosphere of 
the town somewhat dangerous, and fled to Bergen, where, on May 28, the 
refugee Governor convened a council and issued a Proclamation to the 
people of Elizabethtown, charging them with attempting to make altera- 
tions in the Government, and of a tendency to mutiny and rebellion. Capt. 
James Carteret, kinsman of the Governor, was called to preside over the 
House of Burgesses in Elizabethtown, and issued a warrant for Secretary 
Wm. Pardon. The warrant was served by Constable Meeker, but his pris- 
oner escaped to Bergen. He returned to Elizabethtown to read the Procla- 
mation of Gov. Carteret, and was imprisoned for three weeks. On June 
25, a warrant was issued by Justice Ogden requiring Meeker * ' forthwith 
to assemble four men of good report and with them to repair to the said 
William Pardon's house to attach what moveables of his can be found." 
This warrant was issued because Pardon, as the Secretary of Assembly, 
had failed to make copy of the laws passed on Mar. 26, and to deliver the 
said laws to the Assembly. 

Gov. John Winthrop, of Connecticut, being personally acquainted with 
many of the Elizabethtown settlers, wrote, July 2, 1673, to Gov. Sir Geo. 
Carteret in London, commending the characters and good reputations of 
the contending settlers, that their cause might be espoused by him. Among 
those named in Gov. Winthrop's letter was "M*" John Odgden. " 

MADE SCHOUT OF ACHTER KOL 

The Dutch having retaken New York by force of arms July 30, 1673, 
and the English colonists having had so much trouble with their former 
Governor, John Ogden and other deputies from Elizabethtown, New^ark, 
Woodbridge, Piscattaway, Middletown, and Shrewsbury, petitioned the 
Dutch for a hearing, upon which, the latter granted the colonists all their 

29 



3!ol^n €)gticn, Ci^c pilgrim 



former privileges. The Dutch Generals and Council of War made John 
Ogden "Schout" or Sheriff of the six towns, on Sept. i, 1673, and on the 
same day he and Samuel Hopkins were directed to take an inventory of 
the estate of the late Gov. Carteret. The commission reads as follows: 



" the I St September 1673

On Sept. 7, these two men complained that Robert Lapriere had 
removed divers goods from the house of Philip Carteret, which he refused 
to restore, and his arrest was ordered. Schout John Ogden was further 
ordered to summon James Bollen, "late Secretary of the Province of New 
Yersey," who must give up his papers within ten days under forfeiture of 
his property. Lapriere and one John Singletary, charged with disobeying 
commands, were arrested by Schout Ogden and sent to New York. They 
were examined on the 9th by Council, and four days later, John Ogden 
being present, they were convicted. Singletary was fined £^ and put on 
good behavior, and Lapriere, who was Governor General, was convicted 
of sedition and banished. 

On Sept. 13, 1673, the Dutch Commission returned to New York and 
reported that on the nth inst. they had administered the oath of allegiance 
to the inhabitants of the several towns. They rated " Elizabeth town " 
at "80 men," the first on the list being John Ogden, Sr. On Oct. i, the 
Council of War sent instructions to Schout Ogden and the magistrates 
to preserve public peace and the administration of justice. They required 
that the Reformed Christian Religion be maintained. Power was given 
them for "laying out highways, setting off lands and gardens, and in like 
manner what appertains to agriculture, observance of the Sabbath, erect- 
ing churches, school houses, or similar public works. " Some of the Indians 
having committed depredations in the neighborhood, "Mr. Ogden" wrote

to Gov. Anthony Colve Sept. 29th [O. S.] for instructions, and received 
in reply a letter dated at "ffort Willem Hendrick 14th Octob'' 1673" [N. S.]. 
In this letter, Gov. Colve requires Mr. John Ogden to summon the Indian 
Sachem before the Governor. "You are also Required to send hether 
bij y^ first opportunity the armes & other goods according to Inventorij 
formerlij belonging to y*" Late Gouvern''^ Carterett, etc." 

VIRTUALLY GOVERNOR OF NEW JERSEY 

An Assembly, composed of "the Schout and Magistrates of Achter Kol 
to make laws and orders," was held at Elizabethtown, commencing Nov. 18, 

1673. The ordinances were few and simple, and mostly pertained to morality 
and religion. The English settlements had rest for more than a year. " The 
people lived on good terms with the authorities at Fort Orange, and were 
secured in the enjoyment of their lands and privileges. Ogden was virtually 
Governor of the English towns in New Jersey and the government was 
administered very much after the fashion of New England. " But the Dutch 
rule soon ended by the treaty of peace signed at Westminster, Eng., Feb. 9, 

1674, and all captured territory was mutually restored. The Dutch were 
superseded by the English at New York the following November. 

Capt. Philip Carteret returned to Elizabethtown from England Nov. 
1674, being absent over two years. He came in the same vessel with his 
kinsman. Col. Edmund Andros, the newly appointed Governor of New 
York, arriving Oct. 31, 1674. Sir Geo. Carteret was now sole Proprietor 
of East Jersey, being confirmed to him by royal mandate June 13th. A 
new Patent for the whole territory was given on June 29th to the Duke of 
York, by whom East Jersey was reconveyed on the same date to Sir Geo. 
Carteret, who was to have sole power "to settle and dispose of the country, 
upon such terms and conditions as he shall see fit. " This basis of despotic 
power gave to the Governor full control of the Legislature and deprived 
the people of all original jurisdiction. The "Concessions" were reissued 
July 31st, and the same day Capt. Philip Carteret was re-commissioned 
acting Governor. 

He came armed with "Instructions and Orders" from Sir George, 
declaring the grants issued the colonists by former Governor Nicolls null 
and void, and requiring all settlers to apply for new surveys and patents. 
Each settler was required to apply to the Surveyor General between Apr. 
ist and May 15, 1675, or his lands and improvements would be declared 
confiscated. So distasteful was the requirement, only one, a Vanquellin, 
the Surveyor, applied within the time assigned, and only ten more during

the latter half of the year. "Good old John Ogden" was the very last to 
make application for a re-survey, and he doubtless did it under protest. 
It was as late as Oct. 29, 1678. Let every one of his numerous descend- 
ants be devoutly grateful that his illustrious ancestor, John Ogden, dis- 
played more manly courage, possessed better moral fiber, and had a purer 
quahty of patriotic blood than any other man in East Jersey. 

Gov. Edmund Andros of New York had previously received a com- 
mission, and had been given jurisdiction over all territory between the Con- 
necticut and Delaware rivers, but the Duke of York w^aived the claim of 
Andros to said jurisdiction in his grant to Berkeley and Carteret. But 
Lord Berkeley having retired from the concern, and Sir George Carteret 
being dead, Andros wrote to Gov. Philip on Mar. 18, 1680, reminding him 
of his claim, and ordered him to desist from further exercise of authority 
in New Jersey. Andros next visited Carteret Apr. 7, 1680. He demanded 
the surrender of Carteret, and issued further orders "& one particularly 
to M"" Ogden then scherif for the surrender of N. Jersey." The six towns 
refused to negotiate with Andros, and the Assembly at Elizabethtown, of 
which "old John Ogden" was a member, declared they would not recog- 
nize his authority till so ordered by the King. 

The last two years of the earthly record of this unusual man of affairs, 
patriot and Christian, are missing. The promise of Scripture had been 
verified to him : "Thou shalt come to thy grave in a full age, like as a shock 
of corn Cometh in his season;" "With long life will I satisfy him, and show 
him my salvation." The infirmities of age doubtless required him to retire 
from active participation in the affairs of the Colony. His end could not 
have been otherwise than peaceful. His last will and testament were 
made Dec. 21, 1681, and he probably died in May, 1682. The following 
panegyric sums up the life of this remarkable man, and is not too strong. 
It is from " Hatfield's History of EHzabeth," and from a disinterested pen: 

"And now 'good old John Ogden,' whose wanderings for forty years 
had justly entitled him to rank with the ' Pilgrim Fathers, '■ — the acknowl- 
edged pioneer of the town, in whose house the first white child of the settle- 
ment was born, the accepted leader of the people, a pillar in the church 
and in the State, honored and trusted by all, . . . Hes down and dies; 
leaving the impress of his political and religious principles, not only upon 
his children, but upon the community that he has so largely aided in found- 
ing. A man he was of more than ordinary mark — a man of sterling worth ; 
of whom the town, as well as his numerous posterity, should be gratefully 
mindful. He was called a 'malcontent,' and regarded as 'the leading

malcontent of Elizabeth Town ; ' but surely the man that was held in such 
high esteem by the accomplished, sagacious and pious Winthrop, — the man 
who, both at Southampton and here, had been an honored magistrate, 
loved and trusted by the people, and, during the Dutch rule, the virtual 
Governor of the English portion of the Province, is not to be ranked with 
restless agitators because of his persistent opposition to an arbitrary gov- 
ernment. A true patriot, and a genuine Christian, he devoted himself 
while living to the best interests of the town, and dying bequeathed to his 
sons the work of completing what he had so fairly and effectually inau- 
gurated — the establishment of a vigorous plantation founded on the 
principles of civil and religious liberty. ' '

THE WIFE OF JOHN OGDEN 

Little is known concerning Jane Bond, the wife of John Ogden. She 
was the daughter of Jonathan Bond of England, and tradition says she 
was the sister of Robert Bond, an intimate associate of John Ogden, both 
in Southampton, L. I., and Elizabethtown, N. J. We would naturally 
expect that a man of intelligent foresight and sterling moral worth would 
select an estimable and worthy helpmate. In his will, John Ogden refers 
to her as his " Deare and beloved wife and soe hath been for above fowerty 
yeares" (the spelling probably being that of Isaac Whitehead). Her hus- 
band dying in May, 1682, she was made administratrix of his estate Sept. 
19, following, a certified copy being given here:

the Scale of the province the 19: Day of Septemb. 1682 

"By order of the Gover"' Phillip Carteret. 

Robert Vicar Sececta*:" 

About a year after her husband's death, and on May 14, 1683, Jane 
Ogden petitioned Council to secure to her the right of 300 acres in the 
Elizabethtown tract. 

'Att a Councill held the 14th Day of May Anno Dni 1683 

p'^sent The Deputy Governor & propr. " [and six others] 

"The peticon of Jane Ogden Widd read the same being for 300 Acres of Land in Eliza- 
beth Towne in right of John Ogden her late husband w'^^ shee AUedges to bee in right and 
pursuance of a Towne order for w'^*' John Ogden had a warr' 29th Oct 1678 — vpon inspec- 
con of the Records wee find noe such warr', but a warr' for 300 Acres in pursuance of the 
gen'all Concessions — in w'^'^ respect the peticone"^ is mistaken soe the Councill cannot 
Answer the same as Desired" 

Again — 

"Att a Councill held the 26th Day of May Anno Dni 1683" 
[The Deputy Governor and four others of Council being present] 

"The Peticon of Jane Ogden for 300 acres of Land in Elizabeth Towne for her husbands 
rights according to Concessions It's ordered that it be referred to the Deputy Governor 
and Surveyor gen ''all to examine what Lands have bin laid out or taken vp by the husband 
in his life tyme — That according to Concessions she may have her just rights" 

The date of the death of the widow Jane Ogden is not mentioned, neither 
is the place of sepulcher of herself and her worthy husband definitely known. 
But doubtless their sacred dust lies beneath the rear of the present edifice 
of the First Presbyterian Church of Elizabeth. The first meeting house was 
of wood and of an humble style of architecture. It was replaced by a new 
church in 1724, which was 58 ft. long and 42 ft. wide. An addition of 16 
ft. was made in the rear in 1766. This church was burned by the British 
and Tories on the night of Jan. 25, 1780. Washington spoke of it as "the

late misfortune and disgrace of Elizabeth Town." The erection of a new 
church was begun in 1784, and completed in 1789. It has many times been 
extended and improved. 

It was the custom of the early settlers to bury their dead immediately 
in the rear of their meeting houses, and probably the first two or three 
generations of the settlers of Elizabethtown are buried under the greater 
part of the present edifice. It is therefore reasonable to suppose that among 
them lie the bodies of John and Jane Ogden, awaiting the resurrection 
of the just. No headstones remain as memorials of their eventful, but 
successful lives, although some of the old brown slabs removed to give 
room for the additions to the church were set in the walls, bearing as early 
a date as that of 1687. But their monument is imperishably located in 
the hearts of their appreciative and loving descendants, — a monument 
more enduring than that of marble or bronze.

{For biography, see former chapter.) 

When Abraham, the Patriarch, on the Plain of Mamre, was told to lift his eyes to 
heaven and number the stars, he was assured that his descendants should be likewise 
without number. No other man has been made to know he would become the " father of a 
multitude," and that all nations would be blessed in him. But John Ogden, being also a 
righteous man, had he been given the eyes of prophecy, could have looked forward to 
the skies of progenial descent, and been privileged to see a multitude of worthy de- 
scendants, among them being many stars of the third, second, and even of the first 
magnitude. The promise was not only to Abraham, "I will bless thee, and make thy name 
great; and thou shalt be a blessing;" it was fulfilled in the case of John Ogden, the Pilgrim. 

The contention is still on among modern critics concerning heredity; but the transmis- 
sion of certain qualities of blood still means the transmission of certain mental and moral 
qualities in descendants. It is true, in a sense, that "all men have an equal chance in 
life "; but he who begins the struggle with the hereditary characteristics of a noble, pure, 
unselfish, and strong-minded parentage, has an innate capital in brain and heart that is 
lacking in other men. We are confident the foregoing conclusions will be abundantly 
verified in the following pages.

Children of John Ogden and Jane Bond, his wife (Chart i) : 

2. John Ogden, Jr., b. England, Mar. 3, 1638; d. Nov. 24, 1702; m. Elizabeth Plum 

3. [David Ogden, b. England, Jan. 11, 1639; will proved Feb. 27, 1692; m. Eliza- 
j BETH (Swaine) Ward. 

4. [Jonathan Ogden, b. twin, Jan. 11, 1639; d. Jan. 3, 1732; m. Rebecca (Wood?). 

5. Joseph Ogden, b. America, Nov. 9, 1642 (?); d. before Jan. 15, 1690; m. Sarah 

Whitehead. 

6. Benjamin Ogden, b. America, circa 1654; d. Nov. 20, 1722, in 69th year; m. 

Hannah Woodruff. 

7. Mary Ogden, b. America, ; d. ; m. John Woodruff, 2D. 

From these six children of John Ogden, the Pilgrim, have descended from 
13,000 to 14,000 souls. Over 10,000 have been charted. While the book 
contains but 4774 in consecutive numbers, many family entries are necessarily 
closed by index letters after the children's names, and female lines are not 
carried beyond grandchildren of Ogden mothers. Besides, several family 
records reached the editors too late for regular systematic entry, and these 
names probably increase the actual number of descendants named in the book 
to about 5500. Of the conservative estimate of 13,000 descendants of John 
Ogden, the relative numbers issuing through his six children are about as 
follows: No. 2, John, 1200; No. 3, David, 4000; No. 4, Jonathan, 4000; 
No. 5, Joseph, 1400; No. 6, Benjamin, 1400; and No. 7, Mary, 1400. 

Through these five sons and one daughter of "Good Old John Ogden" 
flowed a strain of blood that assured high grade of thought and action 
throughout the nation. Perhaps ten per cent, were above the average in 
the scale of excellence, and were in some way prominent. Of the learned 
professions, a remarkable number attained high degree in the law, a number 
helping to frame Colonial and State Constitutions, and many becoming 
judges of Supreme Court. That rich strain of blood gave New Jersey three 
of her Governors. 

From the ancestral seat, Elizabethtown, N. J., that blood flowed north- 
ward, transforming the wilderness, and giving Ogdensburg, N. Y., its being; 
thence through Canada back to John Ogden's native shores, where it blended 
with notable English blood in legal and army circles. Westward, that blood 
pulsated along new arteries of commerce centering in the great metropolis on 
Lake Michigan; named post-villages in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, 
Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Kentucky, — 
named Ogden, Utah; Ogden's Peak and Ogden's Canon, Utah. That blood 
flowed southward, and produced men prominent in law, legislature, court, 
and army, — blood which, alas, was spilled on both sides on the battle-fields of 
the Civil War. 

The women have been likewise gifted and noble, and the strong, rich, 
blood-tie unites all of the great family in a common heritage of worthy 
kinship and achievement.

2. John Ogden, Jr. (JohnO, b. England, Mar. 3, 1638; d. Nov. 24, 

1702; m. Elizabeth Plum, b. Jan. 18, 1650; d. 1702; dau. 

of Samuel Plum. 

John Ogden, Jr. 2, and his two next younger brothers, twins, were born in England. 
His father, John Ogden, Sr., was one of the immigrants who brought their families to eastern 
Long Island, probably landing at Southampton early in the year 1640. The family is 
supposed to have soon removed to Stamford, Conn., where they remained about three years, 
and then returned to Long Id., being in Hempstead in 1644, and again at Southampton in 
1647. From this locality he moved with the family to Elizabethtown, N. J., in 1665. 

The first public mention of John Ogden, Jr. 2, is taken from Southampton Records, 

bearing date Apr. 30, 1656, and in this peculiar item: "Mr lohn Hoeell doth acknowledge 

that last winter he sold a young mare of two yeares old at present, vnto Mr losiah Stam- 

brough; and lohn Ogden lunr doth acknowledge he did through mistake tok vp the said 

mare and marked her, with a hott Iron vpon ye neare shovlder, with the brand marked 

which is this signe O. -txt--* tt -n c ^ " 

*= Witness Henry Pierson, Sect. 

The records state he took the oath of allegiance to King Charles II., Feb. 19, 1665. 

The spirit of the man is displayed in the first mention of his name after taking up his 
residence in Elizabethtown. The "N. J. Col. Rec." state that in May, 1671, Gov. Carteret 
of E. Jersey caused much disaffection among colonists by convening a special court to try 
one Wm. Hacket, captain of the sloop "Endeavor," for illegal trading in the province; the 
colonists held that the right to convene a court belonged to the General Assembly. The 
breach was made the wider when the Governor granted a lot to Richard Michell, a servant 
in the Governor's household, the colonists believing none but the people, in town meeting, 
could say who should be associates and freeholders. A town meeting was called, and "It 
was agreed by the Major vote that Richard Michell should not enjoy his lot given him by 
the governor. Upon information June 19, 1671, it was agreed that there should some 
go the next morning and pull up Richard Michell's fence. A Coppie of the towne record 
by me. Isak Whitehead." 

The fence was pulled down according to the above agreement by eight persons, viz. 
Wm. Meaker, Jeffery Jones, Luke Watson, Nicholas Carter, Samuel Mash, Sr., John Ogden, 
Jr., Joseph Meaker and Hur Tompson. A special session of the grand jury was called, and 
they were indicted, tried, and found guilty. Wm. Meaker, as leader of the riot, was fined 
£5 and the others £^ each. 

The Dutch having regained New Amsterdam, John Ogden, Jr.', took oath of allegiance 
Sept. II, 1673, as did many other freeholders. 

On June 14, 1676, he obtained a patent for 150 a. of land. Upon the restoration of 
English rule, those who had sworn allegiance to the Dutch were deprived of their rights 
by Gov. Carteret, who declared that patents of land granted by Gov. NicoUs were void, 
and that all must apply anew to himself within a year from notice (July 31, 1674) or their 
lands would be declared forfeited. Despite the bitterest protest, the Governor stood firm 
and they had to submit to the new allotment. John Ogden, father and son, were the last 
to apply, and then under protest.

John Ogden Jr.'s^ generosity is shown by the fact that in the year 1678, he and his 
brother Jonathan and Jos. Wilson shared the honor of being the largest contributors to the 
minister's support, £^ each. In the year 1694 he is named as one of the largest contributors 
to the support of their minister, Rev. John Harriman. 

That he was not only generous but an able and representative man is evident in that 
Elizabethtown sent John Ogden, Jr., and Jacob MoUins as their deputies or representatives 
to the first Legislature of New Jersey. 

An entry of Aug. 2, 1678, gives the following description of 85 a. of his land: 

" Layed out for John Ogden Jr. at Eliz' Towne a hous Lott conty 4 acres, In length 
12 & in bredth 4 Chaine bounded on the S. E. part by John Woodroff & part by Leonard 
Headley, N. E. by a highway, N. W. by Mrs. Hopkins Sens, & S. W. by ye Creek a high- 
way to pass betweene 

"Item 12 acres of upland lying upon the way that goes to ye Governors point in wedth 
S. E. & N. W. 8 chaine & in length N. E. & S. W. 15 chaine bounded on ye N. W. by Leonard 
Headley, N. E. by a highway S. E. by the Governors Land formerly Peter Woolnersens, 
& S. W. by Land not yet surveyed 

"Item 60 acres of upland lying in ye plaines, beginning at a stake M. on 4 Sides that 
parts Leonard Headlys from ye said Land. From thence run N. 30 Chaine to another 
stake M. on 4 sides, from thence run E. 20 chaine to another stake M. on 4 sides from thence 
run S. 30 chaine to a small Walnut tree M. on 4 sides, and from thence run W. 20 chaine 
to ye first mentioned stake. Bounded on ye N. by Henry Norris S. by Leonard Headley

"Item 9 Acres of meadow lying at the east end of the great Island — beginning at a 
small black oak tree M. on 4 sides, from thence run E. N. E. 6 Chaine to a stake with a top

East by Jonathan Ogdens Meadow, N. by the Island, S. and W. by meadow not yet surveyed. 
In all 85 Acres English measure" 

The sale of the old homestead of his father "Good Old John " in Elizabethtown is shown 
by the following record: "John Ogden of Elizabeth Towne, yeoman, for £^0 sells to Samuel 
Whitehead of Southampton, in the Co. of Suffolk state of New Yoik, cordwainer, land in 
Elizabeth Towne by estimation 2 acres. Bounded South by highway West by Mill River, 
North by lands of the said Elizabeth Towne for a place of burial, together with the house 
orchard, fences &c. 

"Signed this third day of Oct. 1691 by John Ogden

John Ogden, Jr.'s^ will was made Nov. 23, 1702, "in the first year of the reign of our 
Sovereign Lady Anne, over England, Scotland, France and Ireland, Queen &c. . . . First, 
I bequeath my soul into the hands of God yt gave it and my body (in hopes of a joj'ful 
resurrection) I commit to the earth." He then proceeds to bequeath to his daughter 
Jemima Ogden, his "home lott and orchard," and all his "hay lot of meadow." Pos- 
sibly there were other children, and a former wife. After giving his nephew John Ogdens 
of Newark, son of David Ogdens, deceased, twelve acres of plain next to the Newark road, 
he bequeaths the balance of his land in Elizabethtown to his daughter Jemima, also all 
his personal property, after debts and funeral charges are duly paid. He names his brothers 
Jonathan and Benjamin Ogden and John Plum as executors. 

He probably died the day after making his will, which was proved the day following. 

Elizabeth Plum, wife of John Ogden, Jr.^, was dau. of Samuel Plum, of Branford, 
Conn., and afterward of Newark, N. J., and gr. dau. of John Plum, of Dorchester, Mass.,

of Wethersfield, Conn., later, and finally of Branford, Conn. Before deputies were intro- 
duced into Connecticut, John Plum was a chief officer. He was a representative in 1641 
and twice afterward. He d. before 1648. 

Samuel Plum in his will, dated 1 703, mentions his grandchild Jemima Ogden as under age.

dau. of Capt. Samuel Swaine and Johannah Ward, his wife, and wid. of 
Josiah Ward. 

David Ogden3, as said of his brother John, Jr. 2, was born in England. He was twin to 
his brother Jonathan, and came to eastern Long Island early in 1640, living with the family 
at South- or Northampton, Long Island, until the family removed to Elizabethtown, 
N. J., in 1665. He was twenty-six years old at the latter date, and is in that year named 
as one of the original Associates of Elizabethtown. He had taken oath of allegiance to 
the English government of New York on Feb. 19, 1665, probably while on Long Id., as the 
family settled at Elizabethtown, N. J., about the middle of that year. 

The "Newark Town Records" of 1670 state that nearly all the trades and callings 
necessary to the convenience and comfort of the colony were represented; among them is 
mentioned "a stone church builder, David Ogden." 

On Sept. II, 1673, he took oath of allegiance to the Dutch government of New 
Amsterdam. 

He applied for a survey of 120 acres, Apr. 27, 1676, and about that time removed to 
Newark, N. J. 

The Newark Records have this peculiar entry of Nov. 24, 1679: "It is agreed that 
two men in each Quarter shall be appointed, to look after the carrying in of Mr Piersons 
Wood for this Year, aad take Care that it be done seasonably. And also to see that every 
one as is yet behind for the last Year, do first carry thier load ; and for thier Pains and Care 
shall be exempted from thier Load of Wood. Mr Johnson and George Day for thier Quarter. 
Mr Kitchel and David Ogden for thier Quarter, Deacon Lawrence and John Ward, Turner, 
for thier Quarter, and Joseph Walters and Thomas Pierson, Junior, for thier Quarter are 
chosen — every Quarter to go out when the Men see Cause to call." 

At a Town Meeting held Jan. i, 1679, David Ogden3 and others were chosen Town's 
Men for that year, "having the same Power as others formerly." He was elected again 
by the Town Meeting held Jan. 4, 1680, at which meeting he was allotted one of the gates 
in the common fence to keep in repair, instead of his proportion of the common fence 
(this appears to be equal to maintaining seven rods of fence). 

At Town Meeting held Dec. 4, 1682, "Joseph Walters and David Ogden are chosen 
to go to each Man that stands indebted to the Town in the Treasurers Book, and make 
Demand thereof, or desire them to reckon with the Treasurer within a Weeks Time; and 
if they have neither Meat, nor Corn, to pay, the Treasurer doth engage to putt them in a 
Way to pay their Debts with Timber; but if they will not pay nor reckon, then the Con- 
stable shall come with a Warrant and distrain for it." 

The following resolution was passed at Town Meeting held Jan. i, 1683: "Whereas 
there is an Order made by Vote the 21 of March 1675-6 for an Orderly attendance at Town 
Meetings, and for Want of Execution many are remiss in their Attendance, by which means 

43

Town Business is much hindered, and some as do attend are much damnitied by loosing 
thier Time, etc." it was agreed that if three fourths of the planters should subscribe, they 
would impose a fine for "late Coming, total Absence, or irregular going away before the 
Meeting be dismissed." This order was that "Twenty four Hours shall be accorded legal 
Warning, and if any Man doth not come to the Place of Meeting to answer to his Name 
at the Second Beat of the Drum, shall be fined '6d. " Lacking a satisfactory excuse, the 
penalty for a whole day's absence was half a crown, a half day isd., and for leaving the 
meeting without leave 2S. David Ogden3 was one that signed. 

Town Meeting, Jan. 9, 1687-8: "It is fully and unanimously consented to, and agreed 
upon by every Planter now present, all being called by Name; that they will from Time 
to Time pay or cause to be paid yearly, in their full Proportion equally, in a Rate that may 
be agreed on by the Major Part of the Town, to the Maintainance and Allowance now agreed 
upon for the vipholding and preaching of the Word in our Town; and Eighty Pounds by 
the Year is agreed upon to be allowed to the present Minister, with his firewood, and to be 
Rate free. " No man was to be liable for the failure of another to pay his proportion. David 
Ogden was one of the signers. 

Elizabeth Swaine, wife of David Ogdens, was of English descent. Her grandfather, 
William Swaine, Gent., of London, came to America in the "Elizabeth and Anne," arriving 
at Boston in 1635. He was a Representative to the General Court of Mass. in 1636, was 
Judge from 1637 to 1640, and removed to Wethersfield, Conn., in 1640. He was Repre- 
sentative to the General Court of Conn. 164 1-3, thence removed to Branford in 1644, 
and w^s Deputy Governor of Conn, that year. He had two sons, Daniel and Capt. Samuel, 
the latter removing to Newark in 1665, and died there before 1685. His will is dated 1682. 

His daughter, Elizabeth Swaine, was first married to her cousin, Josiah Ward. She 
was his promised wife at the time the Branford colony came to Newark, and is said to have 
had the honor of being the first to land. Being among the first settlers of Newark, she was 
buried in their first burying ground, on Broad street, nearly opposite the present old cemetery 
beside the depot of the Central R. R. of N. J. Some years ago the gravestones were re- 
moved from that site by the city authorities and placed around the sides of a vault in Fair- 
mount Cemetery, over which is a large zinc monument. On one face of this is a tablet 
showing a boat by the shore and a man assisting a lady to step ashore. This is said to 
commemorate the landing of the first settlers, the first to land being Elizabeth Swaine. 
After the death of her first husband, Josiah Ward, she became the wife of David Ogden. 
It has been erroneously recorded that she died in 1691, for the old town book of Newark 
recites a deed of land sold by her Jan. 1705-6, which she inherited from her father, Samuel 
Swaine. 

The following deed was given Elizabeth Ogden by the East Jersey Proprietors, but 
does not state the number of acres: 

"This indenture &c made the twentie Eight day of March Anno Dom 1698 Between 
the Proprietors of the Province of East New Jersey & Elizabeth Ogden widow of David 
Ogden late of Newark Dec'sd. The Proprietors sell to Elizabeth, her heirs &c In right 
of her father Capt Samuel Swain late of Newark Dec'sd a tract of land in the town of Newark 
aforesaid containing (after allowance for Barrens & highways &c) First that tract of upland

Jonathan Ogden4 was born twin to his brother Davids. 

The only mention of his name in the " Southampton Records " bears date Oct. 21, 1664, 
at which time he witnesses deed of John Davis to John Oldfield, a fifty pound commonage. 
He removed with the family to Elizabethtown, N. J., in 1665, and was one of the original 
Associates. He took oath of allegiance to King Charles II., Feb. 19, 1665, and was then 
called one of the "5 full grown boys" of Good Old John. 

His house lot is thus described: "Layed out for Jonathan Ogden at Eliz. Towne a 
house Lott Wth an Adition conty 6 acres in Length 1 5 & in bredth 4 Chane Bounded on the 
S. E. by Joseph Ogden N. E. N. W. and S. W. by highways." He also had 22 a. of upland 
in form of a triangle, bounded by the Governor's and Benj. Parkis' land; also 84 a. "Lying 
in plaine" bounded by Benj. Parkis', Leonard Headley's and Isaac Whitehead's land, and 
the Mill brook; also 14 a. of meadow in two plots, on the Creek and on Great Island; in 
all 126 a. English measure. All this land was granted by Philip Carteret, Governor, in the 
name of Sir George Carteret, Baronet, and given under seal of the Province Nov. 10, 1678. 

Probably in Dec, 1667, he joined with others in petitioning the Governor and Council 
to have their lands laid out to them according to agreement made with the inhabitants, with 
consent of the Governor, saying that unless it be done "we do not see how we can possibly 
subsist in th Town, but shall be forced to look out somewhere else for a livelihood." 

Jonathan took the oath of allegiance to the Dutch government of New York Sept. 
II, 1673. 

On June 14, 1676, he applied to the Surveyor General, or his deputy, asking that 120 a. 
of land be laid out to him. 

He was appointed one of the overseers of his father's will on Nov. 21, 1681, and in 1702 
swears that he "hath safely kept it ever since that time till now." 

In 1692 he was receiver of taxes for Essex Co., N. J. 

The colonists being aggrieved by the English authorities, in Sept. 1693 the old and new 
Associates petitioned the King that the lands they had been granted and had enjoyed 
for nearly 30 years "ought according to Law, Reason and justice. Still to enjoy the same." 
Jonathan Ogden4 was one of the petitioners. 

That -he was a zealous churchman is indicated by the fact that in the year 1678 and later, 
with his brother John, he is named as a liberal contributor to the minister's support. In 
1 69 1 he is called Deacon Jonathan Ogden, and is again named as one of the largest con- 
tributors. 

The civil affairs of that early day were adjusted slowly; clashes of authority occurred, 
and it was quite usual for outraged Justice to assert herself. In each of these troubles the 
case was more likely a matter of principle than a violation of law and order; the best men 
often took the initiative in forcibly righting wrong. There is nothing surprising, therefore, 

45 i 



Cl^e €)8Dcn family 



when we read that Jonathan Ogden4 and many others were indicted May 13, 1699, for 
breaking open the jail at Woodbridge and releasing Lewis Morris and George Willcocks. 
On Dec. 26, 1699, Jonathan Ogden4 was one of the assistants to John Harriman who 
had been chosen Surveyor "to Lay out, Divide and Equally assise all lands and meadows 
within the whole Bounds and purchase of Elizabeth Town, to every one Interested therein 
by Right of purchase under the honorable General Richard NichoUs, their Several & Re- 
pective parts and shares of the whole." 

Record is again made of trouble Sept. 12, 1700. Jonathan Ogden4, Jonathan Ogden, 
Jr., Benjamin Ogden and many others from Elizabethtown are indicted for riotously 
taking the keys from the sheriff: "The Complainte of the Sheriff e at ye time and day 
aforesaid. That he was satt upon by severall men of Elizabeth Towne & forceablely Robbed 
of ye Keys of the Frisson, & the prissoner thereupon Imediately Taken out of his 
Cusstody." 

There was so much dissatisfaction with the administration of colonial affairs, Jonathan 
Ogden4 and apparently all the heads of families in Elizabethtown petitioned the King to 
be taken under his immediate government "should the Proprietors not appoint a suitable 
person as Governor." This petition was transmitted in a letter of Mr. R. Yard, Sec'y of 
the Lords Justices, July 17, 1701. 

At a court in Burlington, Dec. 19, 1700, Mr. Regnier brought two writs of error to 
remove two causes, one in the name of Jonathan Ogden4, and the other in the name of 
Benjamin Ogden; both were refused. 

Certain town books being lost or 
destroyed, on Novemb. 18, 1729, Jonathan 
Ogden4 with the other Associates agreeci 
to allow the ' ' newbook " to be regarded as 
a "Lawful Record of Surveys and Con- 
veyances." 

He made his will July 2, 1731, and 
names his son Robert, son Samuel dec'd, 
gr. son John, gt. gr. son Jonathan, youngest 
son of his gr. son Jonathan, dec'd; also 
his gr. son Samuel, and gt. gr. children 
Sarah Griffing and Rebecca Whitehead. 

He d. Jan. 3, 1732, aged 93 years, and 
was buried at Elizabeth, N. J. His will 
was probated Jan. 9, 1732. 

Nothing is known of his wife Rebekah 
other than what is shown on her tomb- 
stone. Her maiden name is believed to 
have been Wood.

Joseph Ogdens is named in " Hatfield's Hist. Elizabeth " as one of the "five full grown 
boys" of John Ogden who came with their father to Elizabethtown, N. J., in 1665, being 
fourth in the list. For probable birthdate, see under No. 77, John Ogden, p. 76. About 
Dec, 1667, Joseph and Jonathan Ogden and many others petitioned the Governor and 
Council to have their lands laid out to them "according to the Agreements made by the 
inhabitants and consent of the Governor with them, as may more fully appear in the Town 
Records." 

On Oct. 27, 1676, Joseph applied for his allotment of 90 a. of land according to the 
concessions, and upon this date Gov. Carteret granted a warrant for the same. Action was 
delayed, for on May 14, 1683, Joseph petitioned the Council for the 90 a. which he had form- 
erly "pitcht upon." The record then states, "It is ordered that Joseph Ogden give an 
accompt to this board wherefore the late Surveyor gen'all Executed not a Warr' of this 
quantity of Land the 27th Oct. 1676 And alsoe of the Land he pitches upon that the Councell 
may give their further resolution in the p'^mises." Later, July 14, 1684, the Surveyor General 
was directed to "lay out and survey unto the said Joseph Ogden Ninety acres of Upland 
and Meadow in proportion." 

In 1682 he is named as one of the overseers of his father, John Ogden's will. 

Sarah (Whitehead) Ogden was dau. of Isaac Whitehead. She was appointed Jan. 
15, 1690, administratrix of her husband Joseph Ogden's estate. She had four husbands. 
She is named on Dec. 31, 1702, as the widow of William Brown, of Elizabethtown. In the 
latter's will, dated Dec. 10, 1702, he makes bequests to his "sons-in-law" (step-sons) Joseph 
and Isaac Ogden, and gives a large share of his property to "my loving and dearly beloved 
wife Sarah." She next m. Francis Sayer, and upon his decease was appointed Nov. 6, 
1708, administratrix of his estate. A receipt found among the "Burnet Papers" reads: 
"1705 Isaac Ogden son-in-law of Francis Sayer receives from Francis Sayer his share and 
portion of the estate of his father Joseph Ogden." The "Burnet Papers" also say that 
Sarah was wife of Azariah Crane Mar. 3, 1 720-1.

"Hatfield's Hist. Elizabeth" makes this early mention of Benjamin Ogden^: "Two 
more sons of John Ogden, Joseph and Benjamin, had come to years." After speaking of 
other young residents, it is stated, "these all had grown to men's estate since 1665." This 
entry is made in 1673, showing that Benjamin was about 13 yrs. of age when he came with 
his father to Elizabethtown, N. J., in 1665. On Sept. 11, 1673, ^^ "^^^ one of the Elizabeth- 
town settlers who swore allegiance to the Dutch. 

A council held at Elizabethtown, Nov. 27, 1684, makes record as follows: "Peticon of 
Benj-'' Ogden for 50 Acres of Land within the bounds of Elizabethtown with meadow in 
proportion — Read and ordered that hee have a war"^ granted him according to his peticon."

€^t €>9Dcn family 



A warrant in due form was given May 7, 1686. Further entry of land is shown under date 
of Feb. 18, 1699, when John Harriman laid out to Benjamin Ogden 100 acres, bounded S. E. 
by Joseph Halsey, N. E. and S. W. by land left for highways, and N. W. by the foot of the 
mountains. 

Capt. Ebenezer Peck catne into possession of "John Ogden's Mill" as early as 1693, and 
he leased the same to Benjamin Ogden and Rev. John Harriman jointly for £24 per year. 
Benjamin's brother John, Jr., had sold this mill property to Samuel Whitehead Oct. 3, 1691. 
In Sept., 1693, Benjamin Ogden^ and others petitioned the king to be placed under the 
civil government of New York, otherwise to have "indifferent Judges to administer justice 
between your petitioners and the said pretended Proprietors, and to admonish the said 
Usurpers that they presume no more to usurpe your Majesty's Royal Authority." The 
colonists had just cause for complaint. Charles II. had granted the whole tract of land be- 
tween the Connecticut and Delaware rivers to his brother James, Duke of York, in 1664, 
at which time it was in actual possession of the Dutch and Indians. The Dutch under 
Stuyvesant surrendered the territory to Gov. Nicolls Aug. 27, 1664, and in October of that 
year, he granted a patent to the Elizabethtown tract to John Ogden, John Bailey and 
others; it was under the latter that the petitioners claimed title, but meantime the Duke 
sold the claim to Lord Berkeley and Sir George Carteret. The Dutch regained possession 
in July, 1673, but were required to cede it a second time to the English by the treaty of 
1674. Meanwhile the colonists had held peaceable possession, but the proprietorship changed 
frequently, and the subdivisions and transfers of shares involved the province in trouble. 
When the English Proprietors in Sept., 1693, claimed title from Berkeley and Carteret as far 
back as June, 1664, matters came to a climax. To test the matter the Proprietors brought 
suit against Jeffery Jones. The jury, although chosen by the Proprietors, returned a verdict 

in Jones' favor, but it was set aside 
by the judges; this caused the Asso- 
ciates to petition the king, as above. 
That Benjamin Ogden^ was a 
leading and influential citizen is in- 
dicated by the fact of his appoint- 
ment as Sheriff, Oct. 10, 1694. He 
is that year also named as a liberal 
subscriber to the minister's support. 
Three years later, Aug. 14, 1697, 
he and the Rev. John Harriman 
purchased a slave named Toney, the 
])rice being ;£48. Benjamin Ogden 
and Rev. John Harriman being part- 
ners, they probably dealt in slaves 
for use at the mill, etc. 

The following record was made 
Mar. 4, i6g\l: "At A publick Con- 
ference of both houses, A Petition 
of Complaint Against George Jewell 
the Clerk of the peace & John Gard- 
ner High Sheriff for the Countie of Essex; signed by Benjamin Ogden, Jonathan Clements 
Isaac Hatfield." After a long debate nothing was proven against either Clerk or Sheriff. 
Benjamin Ogden^ was one of a committee appointed Dec. 3, 1698, to lay out the 
King's Road. 

"In the year of our Lord one thousand six Hundred and Ninety-nine At a Town- 
Meeting (in Elizabethtown) of the Associates and those Holding under them or some of them

W^ivh (feneration 



were admitted as Associates with them in the afiforesaid Premises, all those Persons whose 
names are hereinafter next mentioned;" among them is the name of Benjamin Ogden. 

Benjamin Ogden^ was one of a number of signers who transmitted by letter of Mr. 
R. Yard, secretary of the Lords Justices, July 17, 1701, a petition to the king, asking to be 
taken under his immediate government, should the Proprietors not appoint a suitable 
person as Governor. 

Dec. 5, 1702, Benjamin Ogden^, Jonathan Ogden4, and John Plum are named as 
administrators of the will of John Ogden, Jr. 

These two brothers, Benjamin^ and Jonathan Ogden4, are both refused an appeal to 
the Council held at Burlington, N. J., Dec. 19, 17 10, because "her Majesty's Instructions 
Restricted the Removeall of Causes from the Supreme Court to this board to the Sum of 
one hundred pounds Sterling." 

Benjamin Ogden^ made his will July 9, 1722, and names his wife Hannah, sons John, 
Benjamin, and William, and his nephew Joseph Woodruff. He states that he lived on the 
south side of country road, and that he has a grist mill in partnership with John Harriman. 
He d. Nov. 20, 1722, in his 69th year. His will was proved in Trenton, N. J., Nov. 30, 1722

John Woodruff, 2D, was from Southampton Colony, L. I. He was a man of distinction 
in several important offices, from Ensign to High Sheriff. He was an original Associate and 
took oath of allegiance Feb. 19, 1665. 

His house lot contained ij acres, was bounded W. by John Ogden, and on all other 
sides by highways. He later owned 292 acres, a tract that is still known as "Woodruff's 
Farms." This acquisition is explained by the entry: "John Woodruff of Eliz a towne 
brings for his rights from ye yeare 1666 for himself & his wife and 3 able servants 2 men 
& a maid. In all 5 persons at 90 acres each = 450 acres. Ye warrant made 5 of ye Nov. 

1675" 

When Capt. Wm. Hacket of the sloop "Endeavor," hailing from Salisbury, Co. 
Norfolk, Eng., and charged with illegal trading in the Province, had his first jury trial at 
Elizabethtown, May 16, 1671, John Woodruff, 2D, was one of the leading men who served 
on the jury. 

He took oath of allegiance to the Dutch Sept. 11, 1673, and at the same time was sworn 
in as Ensign by Capt. Knyff and Lieut. Suel. On Dec. 11, 1674, he was appointed Constable 
of Elizabethtown, and was again sworn to that office Mar. 9, 1675. 

The General Assembly in Dec, 1683, passed a stringent military law, and an act for the 
appointment of a "Chief Ranger" in every county, to look after the "estrays of the flocks 
and herds." Thereupon, Benjamin Parkis was appointed Captain, George Ross, Lieutenant, 
and John Woodruff, 2D, Ensign of the Elizabethtown Fort Company. James Emmott 
was made Chief Ranger and Isaac Whitehead Coroner of Essex Co. In their commissions 
dated Dec. 3, 1683, they are all excepting Emmott styled "Gent." 

Nov. 28, 1684, "John Woodruff Sen''" (his son John had reached majority) was appointed 
High Sheriff of Essex Co.

Capt. David Ogden, 2D9, was a resident of Newark, N. J. In papers left by John R. 
Burnet (Newark) is this mention: "Names signed to the agreement dated Sept. 3, 1701 
Entitled a true copy of the articles of the first committee for the purchase of the Western 
part of the Township, between the mountains & the Passaic River, (ages given as far as 
known J. R. B.)." Among the names are Elizabeth Ogden, David Ogden, age 23, John 
Ogden, and Josiah Ogden, age 22. The foregoing was published in the Sentinel of June 20, 
1854. 

The following facts concerning Capt. David Ogden'ss life are taken from the " New- 
ark Town Records." 

"Town Meeting, May 25th, 17 13 — It was agreed upon by vote that the Charges for 
procuring a Town Pattent should be raised as Mr Bower's Salary (that is to say) all Lands 
& Meadows at £25 p. Hundred Acres, all Cattle & Horses one Year old and upwards at 
£2 p. head, all Male White Persons at Sixteen Years old and upwards at ;i£i4 p. head." 

"Item, Ensign Samuel Cooper and James Brown were chosen Rate makers and Assessors 
— Item, David Ogden, Collector." The latter was then about 35 years old. 

At Town Meeting held Nov. 2, 17 13, Samuel Cooper and David Ogden, 2D, were chosen 
Assessors and Rate Makers, and both were re-elected Nov. i, 1714. On Mar. 12, 1716-17, 
David Ogden, 2D, w^as chosen Assessor for the Provincial tax, and Samuel Ailing, Collector. 
David was chosen for the same office Mar. 11, 1718-19, Nov. 2, 1719, Mar. 8, 1719-20, and 
Mar. 10, 1729-30. 

David Ogden, 2D9, and Joseph Burwell were selected by vote, Jan. 20, 17 14-15, to agree 
with the persons who laid out the common line fence as to what should be the proper remuner- 
ation.

Ci^e €)gt)tn ifamtl^ 



"March 8, 17 14-15 Sam' Aling & David Ogden were Chosen to meet ye Justices in 
order to agree about ye County Tax." On this date David Ogden, 2d's part of the Une 
fence was fixed at one chain (66 ft.) extending from Bound Creek northwest to "ye Main 
River." 

On Mar. 14, 1721, Joseph Crane and David Ogden, 2D9, were chosen Freeholders, and 
the latter is at this time called "Captain" Ogden. He was again elected to this office 
Mar. II, 1728-9, and in company with Lieut. Samuel Cooper. (These officers are called 
Supervisors in N. Y. State and Selectmen in Conn.) Again, Mar. 10, 1729-30, and Mar. 
9, 1730-31, Capt. David Ogden, 2D9, is one of the Board of Freeholders and is also a Fence 
Viewer. Twice later he was elected Freeholder, — Mar. 14, 173 1-2, and Mar. 13, 1732-3. 

He d. July 11, 1734, aged 56 yrs., and was buried in Trinity Churchyard, Newark. 
His gravestone is imbedded in the floor of the porch of Trinity Church, and is thus inscribed: 

"Here lieth interred

Col. Josiah Ogden'o was one of the most prominent and influential men in civil affairs 
of Newark, N. J. He was also a strong moral factor in the religious matters of the com- 
munity, and a man of considerable wealth. A minute of Town Meeting held Mar. 8, 17 14-15, 
would indicate this in the large number of links of fence to the commonage that was his 
portion to be kept in repair. This fence separated the cultivated land from the meadow 
or pasture land, 95 links being apportioned Josiah Ogden, which section of fence ran from 
Bound Creek northward to the main river. He resided in a commodious stone house "at 
the most publick Landing in Newark," with garden, orchard, etc.

SILVER SERVICE 

Presented to Trinity Episcopal Church, Newark, N'. J., by No. lo, Col. Josiah Ogden 



ifourti^ (feneration 



At Town Meeting held Aug. 30, 17 16, it was "Voted by the Town to chuse a Committee 
to se out some Way to procure a Minister for the Town, to supply the Place of Mr. Nathaniel 
Bowers, dec'd." The committee consisted of Deacon Azariah Crane, Capt. Eliphalet Johnson, 
Mr. Samuel Ailing, Mr. Josiah Ogden, Mr. Jonathan Crane, Mr. Thomas Davis and John 
Cooper. 

When it was required to fix a boundary line between Newark and Elizabeth Town, a 
Town Meeting held Oct. 24, 1739, chose, as committee for that purpose, Jonathan Crane, 
Col. Josiah Ogden i°, and Samuel Farrand, Esq. 

" Stearns' Hist. Newark " has this to say concerning an important event in the history 
of the town, and of the man who unwittingly brought it about: "Col. Josiah Ogden was 
a leading member of the community, a pillar of the First Church. He was a man of energy, 
wealth and influence. . . . From 1716 to 1721 the Colonel represented the town in the 
General Assembly. He appears to have been a man of strong individuality, holding positive 
and decided views regarding things spiritual as well as temporal. On a certain Sunday 
in the fall of some year close to 1733, Col. Ogden, contrary to a rule of the First Church, 
went into his field and saved his wheat, which was exposed to serious loss from long continued 
rains. . . . For his daring conduct he was subjected to the discipline of the Church, on 
account of having violated the sanctity of the Lord's Day, and publicly censured. The 
Presbytery reversed the decision of the Church, righteously deeming the act of Col. Ogden 
one of imperative necessity, and tried to pour oil on the troubled waters. It was too late. 
Around Col. Ogden rallied a considerable body who openly began to declare themselves 
dissatisfied with the Presbyterian form of Church government. 

"A bitter controversy ensued. Col. Ogden carried the matter to the Philadelphia 
Synod. For several years an animated correspondence took place. . . . 'Behold how 
great a matter a little fire kindleth! ' Out of this trivial matter sprang the Episcopal Church 
in Newark, and a conflagration of local feeling which it took nearly half a century to ex- 
tinguish." 

"Whitehead's Contributions to East Jersey History" gives us the manner of raising 
funds for the building of the church: "In 1 758, the provincial government authorized a pub- 
lic lottery to raise money to purchase certain lands from the Indians, and this bad example 
was immediately seized upon as giving a license to the practice again to an unlimited extent. 
The year 1759 gave birth to the following schemes: — . . . One for building Trinity Church, 
Newark, the highest prize $1000; the managers of which were John Schuyler, Josiah Horn- 
blower, Josiah Ogden, Daniel Pierson and Gabriel Ogden." Lotteries became so prevalent, 
an act of the Legislature of 1748 prohibited the founding of new ones, and required that 
drawings from those already advertised should be done outside the state; but an act of 1758 
favorable to lotteries caused many others to form and operate in all parts of the state. 

Col. Josiah Ogdeni°, the founder of Trinity Episcopal Church, died in 1763 at a ripe 
old age, and was buried in the old burying ground. Upon the breaking up of the latter, his 
tombstone was taken up and placed in the floor of the porch of the church, his brother 
David's being placed likewise on the opposite side. (See design on p. 52.) The inscription 
is as follows: 

"Here Lyes Interred 

ye body of 

CoL. Josiah Ogden 

Who died May 17TH 1763 

In the 84TH year of his age" 

In his will he states, "I give to the rector, church wardens, and vestry of Trinity Church, 
in Newark, my silver cup or porringer with two handles to the same, for and to the only 
use of said church."

The New York Gazette of issue Aug. i, 1763, had this advertisement: 

"TO BE SOLD, 

"The late DwelHng House of Col. Josiah Ogden, at Newark, being built of Free stone, 
Two and a half Story high, has six good Rooms and Fire places, besides a kitchen with a 
Garden and Barn, and also about four Acres of very good Mowing or Pasture land, with an 
Orchard thereon of choice Fruit lying near said House, which is pleasantly situated at the 
most publick Landing in Newark, and very suitable for a Storekeeper or Merchant. Whoever 
inclines to purchase the same, may apply to David Ogden and Isaac Longworth at Newark, 
and to Dr. Jacob Ogden, of Jamaica, on Long Island, or to either of them who will agree for 
the same." The New York Mercury of Feb. 20, 1764, again advertises the same property.

Capt. John Ogden" was a resident of Newark, N.J. He entered public life very early, 
and according to the " Newark Town Records " was chollen "Pounder" May 9, 1700; he was 
then just of age. The minutes of "A Town Meeting held at Newark Sep'tr y^ 28th 17 14" 
has this item: " John Ogden is Chosen Constable by Vote, to Execute Such Matters and 
things as y^ Trustees of y^ Said Town Shall find Necessary to be Done by Vertue of y«

chosen Freeholders. He and his wife Elizabeth were buried in the old graveyard in Newark. 

Elizabeth (Wheeler) Ogden, wife of Capt. John Ogden •', was dau. of Nathaniel 
Wheeler, 2d son of Thomas Wheeler, of Milford, Conn. Here Nathaniel was m. June 21, 
1665, to Esther, dau. of Henry Bochford, and with his young wife came to Newark, N. J., 
with the first company, and signed the "agreement" with the Branford Co. He took up 
residence at the Mountain and lived just long enough to see the "Mountain Society" organ- 
ized, and to convey to it "a parcil of ground for a burying place," where he was one of the 
first to be interred. He was b. in 1639, and d. Oct. 4, 1726, in his 87th year; his wife Esther 
deceased Mar. 14, 1732, at the same age.

Thomas Ogdeni^ resided in Elizabethtown, N. J. While he did not seem to accumulate 
much wealth, and there is not extensive record left of his public life, yet he was a man of 
ability and integrity, as is evinced in his election to important office in his county. The first 
mention of his business life concerns his purchase, Jan. 31, 17 19, of 8 J acres of land in Eliza- 
bethtown of one John Harrison, Esq., of Amboy. On Mar. 13, 1720, Thomas Ogden, Joseph 
Crane, Caleb Ward and Jacob Mitchell were elected road overseers for Essex Co. They 
laid out a road four rods wide from a stub near the house of Zachariah Crane to a birch tree, 
thence to Nathaniel and Azariah Crane's corner. One of the " Burnet Papers " bearing date 
of 1 72 1 has this record: "Effingham Townley, Gentleman, to Ed Vaughan, gent, J. Blan- 
chard Yeoman John Hendricks Yeoman and Thomas Ogden Mason, 120 acres of land." 
Besides the acquisition of land, Thomas Ogden is shown to have been a mason or bricklayer. 
The records of Trinity Church, Newark, under date of 1743-4, reveal the fact that he helped 
in building that church. 

He is frequently named in the court records as having much litigation prior to and after 
the year 1743. 

He was elected Collector for Essex Co. and gave the following receipt: "January 17, 
1 73 1, Then Received of Robert Ogden Collector of Eliz'th Town the sum of Sixty nine 
pounds and Eliven Shillings proclamation money for support of Government and for 
Licenceses Two pounds and four shillings which makes seventy one pounds and fifteen 
shillings. It being the full Quota of Elizabeth Town for the year 1731. I say Received pr me 

£71-15-0 Tho- Ogden Collec''" 

On Jan. 7, 1743-4, he signed a quitclaim to John Clawson, Jr., to all rights in the estate 
of John Clawson, Sr., deceased. A record of July 9, 1755, states that "Thomas Ogden of 
the borough of Elizabethtown, Bricklayer" gave a bond or note to his son-in-law Thomas 
Price for £20 5s. and on same date binds himself, his heirs, etc. to also pay Thomas Price 
;i£io 2S. 6d. ; this latter note was witnessed by Moses Ogden and Thomas Tobin. The former 
obligation was paid by John Clawson, administrator of Thomas Ogden's'^ estate, in 1761. 
The following entry concerns the sale of Thomas Ogden's effects: 

"Feb. ye 27 1761 The sails of the goods of the estait of Thomas Ogden Deceased sold 
at Vandue amounted to thirty nine pounds seventeen shillings and six pence. 

"£39-17-6 sold by me the day & year above by me Abraham Clark" 

W. B. Denton, genealogist, says that Jean (Halsted) Clawson ist m. Caleb Halsted, 
Sr., of Hempstead, L. I., and was mother of Caleb Halsted, Jr., who m. No. 88, Rebecca 
Ogden. Letters of administration on estate of Caleb Halsted, Sr., were granted to wid. 
Jean Halsted, Mar. 26, 172 1, at Perth Amboy, N. J. She probably 2d m. John Clawson, 
on whose estate she took out letters of administration Mar. 24, 1728, at Perth Amboy. 
It is believed she belonged to Rockland Co., N. Y.

Swaine OGDEN13 was born in Newark, N. J., in which place his parents had spent all 
their married life, but he first appears upon record at Hackensack, N. J., where he married a 
Dutch lady, and where nearly all of his children were born and baptized. The baptismal 
register of the old Dutch Church at Hackensack would indicate that he returned to Newark 
or vicinity after his son Nathaniel was baptized in 1722. Four other children were added 
to the family, the youngest of whom was John, who was baptized at the Dutch Church in 
Belleville, a suburb of Newark, in 1729. The records of 1727 speak of him as "Swain 
Ogden of Newark." On May 4th of that year he is sued for £100 by one James Rogers, 
and gives bond for ;£2oo. At the April term of court in Newark, 1729, Swaine Ogden's 
and others were appointed overseers for Newark. 

His residence was probably near Orange, as he and his family were buried in the old 
cemetery in that place. This leads us to the record of a very sad experience of that early 
pioneer day, related in " Wick's History of the Oranges." "A fearful pestilence," believed to

shire, during a cold, wet season in the month of May, and was peculiarly fatal to children 
During that year and the following one, it spread southward through Massachusetts, 
Connecticut, New York and New Jersey, "almost stripping the country of children." Of 
the first forty cases, none recovered. The ravages of the dread disease in New Jersey during 
1735 brought untold sorrow to the homes of the settlers, and a mute tombstone in the old 
parish graveyard of Orange bears this sad inscription: 

"Mary Dec'd April y^ 7, aged 9 years

In the " Book of Surveys " at Perth Amboy. N. J., we find the following entry of land 
purchases: "Swain Ogden & Lemuel Ward, March 14 1742-3 buy of John Burnet of the 
city of Perth Amboy Esq. for ;£42-2-4 117 acres of land to be surveyed in any unappro- 
priated part of said Burnets warrant for 2721 acres from the Proprietors." Again:

Of the Freeholders for Essex Co. in 1755, among those from Newark appear the following 
names: Swain, Samuel, Josiah, Uzal Esq., David Esq., John Esq., and John Ogden. 

Mary Ackerman, wife of Swaine Ogden's, belonged to a Dutch family, and in that 
language was called "Maritie" (or "Marytje") "Ackermans." She was dau. of "Davidt 
Ackermans" and "Hillegondt Ver Planck." The baptismal register of the old Dutch church 
of Hackensack, N. J., records her husband's name as"Swaen Hock don " and " Swaen Ock-

Jonathan Ogden, 2D14, is named in " N.J. Colonial Documents" as one of the many 
who petitioned the king, probably in 1696, for greater protection from the East Jersey 
Proprietors. He had then about attained his majority; he was a resident of Elizabethtown, 
N. J., and occupied a house owned by his father, Jonathan Ogden, Sr.4 

At a Court of Sessions or County Court held at Newark "for y*' County of Essex on 
Tuesday y*' Tenth day of September 1700," a "Rabbell of Elizabeth Towne" consisting 
of about sixty horsemen appeared and broke up the court. They pulled the judge from the 
bench, tore the wig from his head and otherwise maltreated him, using violence likewise 
upon the other court and county officers. They then liberated a prisoner who was on trial 
for bastardy. One of the offenders was Jonathan Ogden, 2D14, although his name does not 
appear among those indicted by the grand jury; also his uncle Capt. Benjamin Ogden^, 
and the latter's son Benjamin Ogden, Jr. 21 The names of the rioters were presented to the 
grand jury Sept. 12, 1700, but nothing is known of the penalty inflicted upon those found 
guilty. One of the grand jurors was Capt. David Ogdeno. 

Jonathan Ogden, 2D14, was one of the petitioners to the king asking to be taken under 
his direct government, should the Proprietors not appoint a suitable person as Governor. 
This petition was transmitted by Mr. R. Yard, Secretary of the Lords Justices, July 17, 1 701

Samuel Ogdenjs was a resident of Elizabethtown, N. J., where he was born, but, as he

In 171 1 we find him again in Elizabethtown, and an " Overseer of the Highways;" in 17 12 
he was made Constable. He died aged 35, having made his will Nov. 26, 17 14, which

Robert Ogden>^ was born at Elizabethtown, N. J., and was a resident of that place. 
He was a representative man in civil and ecclesiastical affairs, "A Pillar in both Church & 
State." 

The first time his name appears in the records is in the year 1729. The "Town Books" 
containing surveys of lands and minutes of Town Meetings for over fifty years mysteriously 
disappeared about 17 18 or 17 19, the earliest statement of the loss being found in the initial 
entry of "Town Book B." under date of Aug. 2, 1720. At that time it was "By A free And 
unanimous Agreement of the freehold's afores'' Concluded and Resolved; That This present 
Book Now Is And Shall Be Improved To be, A book of Records, for the use and behoof of 
the freeholders of Elizabeth Town Afores'', And for no Other use whatsoever." More than 
nine years later, Nov. 18, 1729, this agreement was ratified by the associates and their 
successors, some ninety in number, Robert Ogden '^ being one of them. 

Robert Ogden'I^ was made Collector for Essex Co., Feb. 16, 1720-1.

In " Salisbury ' ' occurs an important entry concerning his church relationship : ' ' For the 
first time the church [First Presbyterian of Elizabethtown] was represented in the Synod 
of 1721 by one of their Elders, Robert OGDEN,.son of Deacon Jonathan and grandson of 
'old John Ogden."' 

Robert Ogdeni^ made his will Feb. 8, 1731, and a codicil added Mar. 19, 1733, provides

He is first named in the " Newark Town Records " under date of Mar. 14, 1737-8, when at 
Town Meeting he with others petitions "for liberty to build a Hovel near the Meeting House, 
to shelter Horses, and Liberty was granted by vote."

The "Tuttle Genealogy," p. 318, has the following biographical mention of Col. Joseph 
Tuttle, husb. of Abigail Ogden44: 

"Joseph Tuttle, b. Sept. 2, 1698; at Newark, N. J. appt. supervisor of highways, 
March 8, 1725; clerk for entering strays, March 9, 1730; one of the overseers of the poor 
and fence viewer; bought lands in Hanover, 1724-25, and removed there some years later. 
In 1734 he bought a tract of 1,250 acres at Hanover Neck, on the Whippany and Passaic 
rivers, near the confluence. A deed, supposed to be of this property, dated Jan. 22, 1733-34, 
given by John and Samuel Johnson to Joseph Tuttle, blacksmith. He was a Justice of 
the Peace; a Colonel of militia, and a dea. of the chh. He was a widower and blind some 
years before his death, Nov. 3, 1789, aged 91 yrs. His monument, an altar stone in the 
Whippany graveyard, has an inscription composed by the Rev. Dr. Green : 

"'The tender names of father, husband, friend. 
And neighbor kind, did through his life extend; 
In church and state he virtuous honor gain'd. 
And all his offices with truth sustained. 
As deacon, elder, colonel, judge, he shone, 
While heaven was his hope, his rest, his home. 
Laden'd with honours usefulness & years. 
He drop'd this clay, & with ye saints appears.'" 

His wife's monument (a plain slab) says: "Here Lyes ye Body of mrs Abigail Tuttle 
wife of Coll Joseph Tuttle Dec'd Augst ye 26 1751 Aged About 50 years."

The earhest record of Uzal Ogden45 is under date of Apr. 15, 1740, at which time 
he tmites with brothers John46 and David47 in the purchase of property afterward known 
as the Ringwood Iron Works or mines in Sussex Co., N. J. The first item in Trinity Church 
(Newark) records bears date Mar. 21, 1742-3: "Trinity Church to Uzal Ogden Dr. To 
one gallon rum for the stone diggers £0-4-." He appears to have furnished all the labor 
and material, or else was treasurer of the funds. 

From 1743 to 1762 he is named in Essex Co. court minutes as Justice or County Judge. 
In 1748 he is one of a committee to grant pardon to rebels. In 1755 Gov. Belcher issued a 
proclamation granting friendly Indians of the province the privilege of acknowledging their 
allegiance to the English government and of being protected by His Majesty's subjects. 
They were to be enrolled by a magistrate for each county, given a certificate, and be desig- 
nated by wearing a red ribbon on the head for protection. Uzal Ogden4S was appointed 
magistrate for Essex Co. to register such Indians as should apply. 

He was appointed, Feb. 16, 1759, administrator of estate of John Bruen, Jr. At the April 
term of court, 1763, he was appointed Sheriff of Essex Co. In 1765 he and brother John46 
sold the Ringwood Mines to Samuel Gouverneur. In 1778 is a Warden of Trinity Church, 
Newark, and Apr. 5, of following year, is requested to write his son. Rev. Dr. Uzal'sS, to 
preach in Trinity Church. His death and burial are not recorded, though they probably

Feb. 14, 1795, in 87th year; m. Hannah Sayer, b. 1709; d. Oct. 20, 1757, 
aged 48 ; dau. of Jonathan Sayer. 

Judge John Ogden46 is known as "John Ogden of Newark, " where he was a promi- 
nent lawyer and judge, and in the Essex County court minutes is continuously mentioned 
from 1742 to 1776 as Justice, Judge, etc. 

On Apr. 15, 1740, he joined with his uncle Josiah'° and brothers UzaUs and David47 in 
the purchase of the Ringwood property, forming the Ringwood Mining Company; he sold 
his interest to Samuel Gouverneur in 1765. 

He was greatly hated and persecuted by the English and Tories during the Revolution- 
ary War, and "Atkinson's Hist. Newark" thus speaks of their treatment of him: "Justice 
John Ogden, whom you know, had his house robbed of every thing they could carry away. 
They ripped open his beds, broke his desk to pieces, and destroyed a great number of im- 
portant papers, deeds, wills, etc. belonging to himself and others; and the more he entreated 
them to desist from such unprofitable and pernicious waste, the more outrageous they were. 
They hauled a sick son out of his bed, whose life had been despaired of some time, and 
grossly abused him, threatening him with death in a variety of forms." 

John Ogden^^ and his wife were buried in the old churchyard on Broad street, Newark, 
N. J.; the epitaphs were copied in "Conger's Notes," the old tombstones being removed 
to Fairmount Cemetery and buried under the monument erected to commemorate the

Judge David Ogden 5° was a man of rare ability and attainment, of high scholarship and 
undoubted integrity of character, and a prominent leader of men. His activities occurred 
in troublous times and the full display of his powers was somewhat checked by them, 
yet he stands above his fellows in intrinsic worth and honesty of purpose. There appears 
to be no official record of his birth and death, but they may be nearly arrived at by his will, 
etc. He was born at Newark, N. J., 1707, and died at Flushing, Queens Co., N. Y., between 
May 19, 1798 (date of will) and Aug. 6 of same year, when will was proved. 

"Atkinson Hist, of Newark," after speaking of the great questions then rocking the 
cradle of American Independence, goes on to say: "The attitude of one family in particular 
commanded attention. This was the rich, powerful, influential and cultured Ogden family 
The head of the family was Judge David Ogden, son of Colonel Josiah Ogden. Judge 
Ogden was educated at Yale College, graduating with high honors in 1728, and apart from 
his wealth, which in those days was quite large, commanded wide-spread influence in the 
Province. He had long been a member of his Majesty's Council and was also for many 
years a Justice of the Supreme Court. He espoused the cause of King George. What hap- 

67 



Cl^e C>gDcn family 



pened after the outbreak of hostilities is described by the Judge himself in a document 
of rare merit printed in London in 1784 and entitled 'The Claim of David Ogden, Esq.' 
Surely it is due to the memory of these distinguished American Loyalists to recollect that 
their motives were beyond doubt anything but low — were in fact the very opposite of 
mean, and as they appear to us through the microscope of a century they represent only 
an honorable high-toned and exalted sentiment." 

Allying himself with the Loyalist side during the Revolutionary War, Judge David 
Ogdenso naturally awakened the antipathy of the Continental party and was subjected 
to many indignities and persecutions. The "New York Historical Collections" for 1875 
has the following letter from Gen. Pattison to Lieut. Hills: 

"To Lieutenant Hills 

"Sir "New York, May 24, 1780. 

" A Complaint having been made to Major Gen'l Pattison of your having very ill treated 
M^ Ogden a Gentleman & Refugee, who Fled upon a Principle of Loyalty from the Province 
of New Jersey: the General directs me to say that he is convinced you could not have 
known the Rank and Character of the Man you so attacked, but upon being informed 
that he is one of the King's Council for the Province of New Jersey, as well as one of the 
Judges of the Supreme Court, and added to this, a most respectable Character in Private 
Life, the General doubts not that you will make him such an apology as one Gentleman 
ought to do to another, and thereby prevent this matter being brought to a more disagree- 
able Issue. I am. Sir &c 

[Signed by Aide-de-Camp, Stephen Payne Adye] S. P. A. 
" To Lieut Hills" 

A more complete account of Judge David Ogden'sso career comes from "The Judicial 
and Civil Hist, of N. J." and is as follows: 

"It is a fact which has perhaps escaped the attention of historians, that some of the 
strongest and ablest men in the profession of the law became devoted loyalists. David 
Ogden was one of these, and he embraced the side of the King of England from pure con- 
victions of duty, for he was an honest man, and his decisions for his own individual guidance 
were based upon what he deemed just and right. 

"David Ogden was born at Newark, very early in the eighteenth century. He was 
educated at Yale, where he was matriculated in 1728. He then read law in New York, 
and after completing his studies began practice in Newark. He was not a dazzling nor a 
brilliant man, and could not be called a genius, but he had better qualifications than those 
generally accompanying genius, to equip him for a lawyer's life. He was clear-headed, of 
uncommon good sense, of unfailing judgment, and added to these excellent aids to success 
in the legal profession, the most untiring industry, unsurpassed by any of his contemporaries 
at the bar. Very soon, he was the acknowledged leader of the profession in New Jersey. 
He received an appointment to the bench, as associate justice, in 1772. No man of his 
time was better equipped than he for the performance of the duties of this office. His 
inexhaustible stores of learning, his clear perception and honesty of purpose, were qualifi- 
cations which admirably fitted him for the office of judge. But he could not have had a 
fair opportunity of displaying his capability for the position. He was appointed in troublous 
times, at a period when it must have been apparent to the most casual observer that the 
issue between the colonies and England must soon be submitted to the arbitrament of the 
sword. When the lawyers refused to purchase stamps, he united with them in their action; 
but he was a loyalist and an honest one. When hostilities actually began and it was not 
safe for him longer to remain in the place of his birth, he removed to New York and resided 
there during the war. His convictions of duty drove him to decided action, and he devoted 
all the energies of his nature to the success of the cause he honestly believed deserved to be 

68 



ififtl^ (feneration 



successful, and never despaired until the last moment, of its final triumph. He busied him- 
self most industriously with his pen. Among his productions was one which provided for 
a plan for the government of the colonies after their submission, which, as he expressed it, 
'was certain and soon to happen, if proper measures were not neglected.' His plan was 
quite complex, but it is somewhat amusing to notice that it embraced perfect self-govern- 
ment by the colonies through a parliament and officers chosen by the colonists, with power 
of taxation vested only in the Continental Parliament. Among other propositions made 
by Mr. Ogden was the creation of Barons from among the freeholders and inhabitants of 
the colonies, who were to compose a house of Peers for the American Parliament. Perhaps 
David Ogden might have had in his mind one inhabitant of the provinces who, he thought, 
would make an excellent member of the proposed House of Lords and who ought to be 
made a Baron. 

"After the independence of the Republic was acknowledged by the British government, 
Mr. Ogden went to England and became agent for the loyalists in the prosecution of their 
claims for compensation for losses they had sustained by their adherence to the King. He 
returned from England in 1790, and resided in Long Island until his death, which occurred 
m iSoo. 

The date of Judge David Ogden'sso death given above is incorrect, as his will made 
May 19, 1798, was proved Aug. 6 of same year. In this will he gives son Nicholas'Si a farm at 
Flushing, "if his reputation for Patriotism is good enough for him to take and hold it;" 
if not, it is to go in trust to Aar on Bu rr, Richard Varick, Peter Kemble, of New York, and 
Richard Stockton of Princeton, N. J. He speaks of unsettled affairs between him and his 
sons Abrahami76 and Samuel'ys, which he had already attempted to settle by arbitration. 
Mention is made of a bond or obligation he holds against Samuel'TS, given about 1770, for 
the purchase of the Boonton estate in Morris Co., N. J.; he advises his executors to wait 
one month for payment of same, then proceed to collect by law. He gives daughter Sarah 
(Ogden) Hoffmani7s his post-chaise and harness, and his son Isaaci74 $500. The executors 
are Aa ron B urr, Richard Varick, Richard Stockton, and son Nicholas OgdeniSi. 

Gertrude (Gouverneur) Ogden, wife of Judge David Ogdenso, was a member of the 
Gouverneur family of New York. In the old Gouverneur Bible her birth is thus recorded: 
"In the year of our Lord 1716, on the 5th of March, on Tuesday morning at six o'clock, was 
born our sixth daughter and was called Gertrude and was baptized by the Rev. Du Bois. 
Godfather Philip Schuyler. Godmother [Anne] Elizabeth Schuyler [nee Staats, maternal 
aunt of the child]." 

The following record found elsewhere states: 

"New York Jan 15. On the 30th Ultimo Dec. 1775, at Newark in New Jersey, Mrs 
Ogden, the wife of the Hon. David Ogden Esq. departed this life in the 60th year of her Age, 
after a painful and lingering Illness; which she bore with that Fortitude and Resignation 
which truly characterize the good Christian ; patiently waiting for that happy period which 
would end her sorrows. Complaisance with strict Sincerity, — Humility without meanness, — 
Beneficence without Ostentation, — Devoutness without Superstition, — and in the several 
duties of Wife and Parent, Tenderness and Affection, were amiable Qualities which ren- 
dered her worthy of the Regard and Esteem of her Husband, Children, and Acquaintance 
and justly implanted in each one a lasting Reverence to her Memory."

Land, which was passed March loth 1746-7." James Banks is one of several "to take

Dr. Jacob Ogden s3 was a celebrated physician of his time. After receiving his medical 
education, he removed to Jamaica, Long Island, where he gained an extensive practice 
that continued until his death in 1780, which occurred by accident through his horse taking 
fright. He is mentioned in several medical works as a leader in his profession; he became 
widely known by his letters on "Malignant sore throat distemper," published about 1764, 
the disease then being prevalent on Long Island and elsewhere, and proving very mortal. 

Dr. Francis said of him that "when medicine was obscured by prejudice, encumbered 
by forms and shrouded in mystery, he thought and acted for himself and proved by a long 
course of success that he was not only an original thinker, but a sagacious observer."

When General WoodhuU was mortally wounded in Sept. 1776 by the sabres of the 
British light horse, he was carried to a tavern in Jamaica, where Dr. Ogden and his pupil 
Minema, afterward his successor, were refused permission to dress his wounds, a British 
surgeon being afterward called in. For thirty years after Dr. Jacob Ogden's53 death he 
was remembered in Jamaica, and his name was spoken with love and veneration.

(Capt. James Nutman, Jr., 2d m. Lydia Rogers, wid. of a Mr. Crane, 
and by her had Elizabeth, Lydia, Keziah, and Isaac Nutman.) 

Capt. James Nutman, Jr., husb. of Elizabeth Ogdensp, was a man of wide experience 
and took much interest in public affairs. In Nov., 1736, he was one of a committee "to agree

Cl^c ^qfim family 



with Mr. Burr concerning the work of the Ministry among us." On Mar. 9, 1756, he and 
others were a committee to inspect "Encroachments on the Parsonage." The proprietors 
of East New Jersey had originally granted several lots of land for the use of a parsonage, 
there being but one organized religious society at the time. Afterward there were three 
societies, and on Mar. 10, 1761, a committee was appointed to take proper steps toward 
a division of said parsonage lands among the three church societies, James Nutman, Jr., 
being one of the committee. But it seems the matter was not adjusted till seven years 
later — Mar. 8, 1768, when it was voted by a large majority that the parsonage lands in 
Newark should be divided between the three congregations, the First Presbyterian Church, 
the Church of England, and the Mountain Society. The trustees of the First Presbyterian 
Church, being present, forbid meddling with the parsonage lands, as they claimed said lands 
as their exclusive property, but a committee was appointed to settle the difficulty, Thomas 
Longworth and Capt. James Nutman, Jr., being the members for the Church of England. 
It was voted Mar. 13, 1764, "that the Parsonage Meadow be hired for the ensuing year, 
Nehemiah Baldwin, James Nutman, Jr., and Amos Harrison Esq'rs to receive the Money, 
equally to be paid to the Priests of said Town. "

Isaac Ogden^i was one of the subscribers to the first church at Rockaway, Morris Co., 
N. J. The subscription paper is quite a curiosity, and is thus headed: "March 2 1758 We 
the Inhabitence of rockaway pigenhil and upper inhabetence at the colonals forges and 
places agesant being met together In order to consult together about a place to set a 
meting hous and being all well agread that the most sutable place for the hoi setelments 
Is upon the small plain a letel above bemans forge which is below the first small brok upon 
that rode up to Samuel Johnson 

"and we the subscribers a blig ourselves to pay toward building a house at that place 
the sums to our names afixed. " 

Forty persons signed this paper, and the same day another paper was signed by twenty- 
nine of the aforesaid, which reads: "We the subscribers do by these mannefest It to be our 
desier to Joyn with pasipaney to call and settel a minnester to have the one half of the 
preachen at posipaney and the other half at rockaway and each part to be eakwel in payen 
a minnester." 

In the first paper the name is spelled "Isak Ogden" and in the second it is "Isaac 
Ogden." 

He probably removed from Newark, N. J., to Ohio in early life. The records of Franklin 
Co., Ohio, show that his son Moses^so lived and died there, leaving numerous descendants.

The above marriage is recorded at East Hampton, L. I. It agrees with record in an 
old Bible owned by Mrs. Cortland Drake of Mendham, N. J., and which was doubtless the 
family Bible of "Good Old John'." It descended to John?? through his gr. father Jonathan4, 
son of John'. On a blank page at the beginning of the Book of Psalms is written "Jonathan 
Ogden, his book 1697." In another place "John Ogden son of Jonathan Ogden Dec'd His 
Bible given him by his grandfather Ogden in the year 1724." At the end of Revelations 
is "Nov. 9 1642, my son [name unreadable] was born by gods providence." This birth- 
date is probably that of his son Josephs, — at all events proving that this rare old Bible 
printed in 1599 was once the property of John Ogden'. 

It is stated in " Hatfield's Elizabeth " that John Ogdenv? resided in a neighborhood 
about two miles from Elizabethtown, N. J., called Sodom, and because of his singular piety 
was familiarly called "Righteous Lot." 

The will of John Ogden?? was made June 6, 1779, and proved Dec. 10, 1780. In it he 
bequeathed to gr. sons Jonathan and Ezekiel Ogden the property he then occupied and 
formerly belonging to his brother Jonathan Ogden, dec'd. To dau. Abigail Pierson he gave 
£100, his silver tankard and one half his silver spoons. To dau. Phebe Magie ;^ioo, his 
silver teapot, milk-pot, and one half his silver spoons. To gr. son Jonathan Ogden his desk 
(directing that Jonathan give his father's desk to his brother John), his riding-chaise, and 
one half his wearing apparel. To gr. son Ezekiel Ogden, his clock, one half his wearing 
apparel and the desk that was his father's, his sword and trammels and andirons in both 
rooms, and his silver buckles. To gr. children Betsy and Zerviah Ogden, children of his 
son John, dec'd, ;^io each when 18 yrs. of age or when married. He also names gr. son John 
(not 21 yrs. old), gr. dau's Rebecca Price and Mary Earle, also children of gr. dau. Phebe 
Mulford, dec'd. His son John's widow was to have one room in the house, pasture for her 
cow, and wood to burn as long as she remained a widow.

PHEBE (HATFIELD) OGDEN

Jfifti^ dDitneratton 



Robert Ogden, 2d, the eldest son and second child of Robert Ogden, ist, and Hannah 
Crane, his first wife, was born at Elizabeth Town, Oct. 7, 17 16. His grandfather and father 
were large land owners and both occupied prominent positions in the colony. His father 
was Collector of the County of Essex in 1720 and filled many similar offices. As was truth- 
fully said upon his tombstone, he was " a pillar in both Church and State." He died in 1733, 
a few months after his own father (Jonathan Ogden), when Robert 2d was but seventeen 
years old. He left six children by his first marriage and three by the second, all under age. 

Robert Ogden, ist, devised to his son Robert, with other property, "All that house lot 
of land whereon my father's, Jonathan Ogden, dwelling house now stands. 

, "Beginning three rods and a half sovithward of my now dwelling house, and from thence 
to run easterly over a small rock to Joseph Ogden's fence, from thence southerly to the 
street and from thence as the street runs to the southwest corner of the said house lot, and 
from thence northerly as the street runs to the first mentioned place, together with all houses, 
buildings or other appurtenances and privileges thereunto belonging. (Which said house 
lot of land and premises is verbally given to me by my father, Jonathan Ogden, and designed 
by him to be given to me by his last will and testament.) And I also give unto my said son, 
Robert Ogden, the one-half part or equal moiety of my tanyard, bark house, bark mill, 
tan-fats, tanner's tools and all other appurtenances thereunto belonging or in any wise 
appertaining." 

This house was on the northeast side of Elizabeth avenue, two blocks east of Broad 
street, and the tannery property was on the opposite side, running down to the creek. 

Robert Ogden, 2d, appears to have enlarged his patrimony by his own ability, obtained 
an education, for those days a liberal one, and soon took a prominent place in the county 
and state. He married, when about twenty years of age, Phebe Hatfield, daughter of Mat- 
thias Hatfield. She was born Nov. 25, 1720, and died Dec. 22, 1796. 

In 1745, when the struggle between the Elizabeth Town settlers and the Board of 
Proprietors was at its height, Robert Ogden was one of the commissioners appointed to raise 
money by subscription to carry on the litigation in behalf of the people, while his cousin, 
David Ogden, of Newark, was the counsel for the Proprietors. 

Dec. 24, 1751, he was Recorder of the Borough of Elizabethtown, and this same year 
he was elected to the i8th Provincial Assembly. In 1755 he was Deputy Secretary of the 
Council, but soon after was elected to the Assembly in place of John DeHart, and then 
again elected to the 20th Assembly, serving in the latter as Speaker until he resigned in 1765, 
in consequence of his action in the first Colonial Congress. 

Jan. 27, 1753, Governor Belcher appointed him a Surrogate, and Aug. 14th of the same 
year, "one of our Clerks in Chancery. " He was a great friend of the Governor, and is named 
in his will as one of his executors. He really settled his estate. In his letter to Andrew 
Belcher, announcing the death of his father, which occurred Aug. 31, 1757, he says: 
"Madame Belcher is at my house, being Disconsolate, having Lost the kindest and dearest 
of Husbands, you have Lost a Tender and an affectionate father, and I have Lost a faithful 
and unalterable friend. " 

From 1757, through the French war, and until 1773, his papers show that he was 
Commissary and Barrack Master for the King's troops. 

Aug. 3, 1 761, he was commissioned Justice and Judge — he had been a Justice of the 
"Quorum" since 1755. Dec. 24, 1761, "Robert Ogden Gentleman" was commissioned 
Clerk of the Court of Essex County, and March 22, 1762, he was commissioned by Gov. 
Hardy one of the Surrogates of the Orphans' Court of the Province of East New Jersey. 

In 1763 and 1766, as Ruling Elder, he attended the Synod of New York and New 
Jersey. 

When the Stamp Act was passed and the people of all the Colonies rose in angry 
resistance to its operation, Robert Ogden was Speaker of the Assembly. Aug. 24, 1764, 



79 



W^t €)gt)cn ifamil^ 



he wrote Cortland Skinner, Attorney-General of the Province and a fellow member of the 
Legislature, inclosing a copy of the communication sent out by the committee of the Mas- 
sachusetts Representatives, for his perusal and advice. He says: "The affair is Serious 
and Greatly Concerns all the Colonies to unite and Exert themselves to the utmost to Keep 
off the Threatening blow, of Imposing Taxes, Duties, etc., so Destructive to the Libertys 
the Colonies hitherto enjoyed." (N. J. Archives, Vol. IX, p. 449.) 

The circular letter of the House of Representatives of Massachusetts, signed by the 
Speaker, recommending a congress of deputies from all the Colonial Assemblies to meet in 
New York in October, to consult on the present circumstances of the Colonies, was laid 
before the Assembly of New Jersey, June 20, 1765, on the last day of the session. The 
members evidently were not ready to act. In a minute made at a later session of the 
Assembly they say: "This House acknowledges the letter from the Massachusetts Bay: 
that it was on the last day of the session, some members gone, others uneasy to be at their 
homes; and do assert, that, the then Speaker (Mr. Ogden) agreed to send, nay urged, that 
members should be sent to the intended Congress," but when this minute was made their 
refusal to comply with the recommendation having been condemned by the people, they 
threw the blame on the Speaker, as follows: "But (the Speaker) changed his opinion upon 
some advice that was given to him: that this sudden change of his opinion displeased many 
of the house, who seeing the matter dropped were indifferent about it." 

Mr. Ogden, as speaker, replied to the letter of the Massachusetts House and said: 
"That though they are not without a just Sensibility respecting the late Acts of Parliament 
affecting the Northern Colonies, yet apprehending, whatever Reasons may be thought 
proper to be urged against them may be better received after some Time elapses; our 
Assembly, on that Account, and because the Trade of this Province is insignificant in com- 
parison of others, are unanimously against uniting on the present Occasion. They, how- 
ever, cannot but wish such other Colonies as think proper to be active, every Success that 
they can loyally and reasonably desire." (N. J. Arch., Vol. IX, p. 496.) 

This action or want of action on the part of the New Jersey representatives was not 
pleasing to their constituents and evidently not more so to the Speaker. Richard Stockton 
in a letter to him dated Sept. 13th, 1765 (printed in full on pages 149 and 150, Vol. II of 
the proceedings of the N. J. Historical Society), says, "They (the representatives of the 
people) ought to complain constitutionally; they should complain to the King, not to the 
Parliament whose authority they do not, and ought not to acknowledge. . . . but 
humbly and sensibly petitioning the King, I think, might be of great service. . . . 
Suppose you should apply to half a dozen members, and sign a request to the Governor 
to call you immediately that you may reconsider the propriety of sending deputies to 
New York." 

"On his own authority" Mr. Ogden reconvened the Assembly, summoning the mem- 
bers to meet at Amboy. All the members did not heed this irregular summons. Governor 
Franklin, in his report of it to the Board of Trade, says: "About 12 of them accordingly 
met and were prevailed upon to appoint three of their members a committee to go to New 
York." This assembly appointed as delegates Robert Ogden, Hendrick Fisher and Joseph 
Borden. The following is a copy of their instructions: 

"At a meeting of a large number of the representatives of the colony of New Jersey, 
at the house of Robert Sproul, October 3d, 1765. 

"At the desire of the speaker of the house of representatives as aforesaid; and at the 
earnest request of many of our constituents, to consider of some method for humbly, loyally 
and dutifully joining in a petition to his majesty, that he would be graciously pleased to 
recommend to the Parliament of Great Britain to redress our grievances by repealing several 
of the last acts of parliament affecting the northern colonies, particularly that called the 
stamp act.

"Robert Ogdeii, Esq., Hendrick Fisher, Esq., and Joseph Borden, Esq., were directed 

to attend at the congress now met at New York, and join the measures there to be concluded, 

for the purposes aforesaid, and to make report of their proceedings therein, at the next 

meeting of the general assembly. 

"Signed by order, John Lawrence." 

This first congress of the American Colonies met at New York, October 7th, 1765, 
four days after the meeting at Amboy. Nine only of the Colonies were represented, but 
the Assemblies of New Hampshire, Virginia, North Carolina and Georgia wrote that they 
would agree to whatever was done by the Congress. The three delegates from New Jersey 
were present. On the 19th, Congress agreed upon a declaration of rights and committees 
were appointed to draft petitions, one to the King, one to the lords in Parliament, and one 
to the House of Commons. When they came to sign these addresses a difference of opinion 
arose. The majority were of the opinion that they should be signed and transmitted by the 
Congress. Timothy Ruggles of Massachusetts, the speaker of the Congress, and Robert 
Ogden thought that they should be forwarded by the Assemblies of the different Colonies 
and they therefore refused to sign them. 

This action on the part of Robert Ogden was misconstrued by the people of New Jersey 
and the popular rage was kindled against him. He was burned in effigy and from being 
one of the most popular men in the state he became for a time the most hated. Sabin in 
his "Loyalists," on this slender foundation, has classed him as one of that number. Indig- 
nant at this treatment, Mr. Ogden resigned his position as Speaker of the Assembly, and 
Cortland Skinner was chosen to succeed him. Popular judgment was more than usually 
at fault in this case. A few years after, while Ogden, his sons and sons-in-law were the most 
active and zealous patriots in New Jersey, Cortland Skinner was in command of a loyalist 
regiment making depredations on the people who had honored him. 

Mr. Ogden's letter resigning his seat in the Assembly is as follows: 
' ' Gentlemen : 

" The present meeting is in consequence of the application of myself and several of the 
members of this House, to his Excellency, who was pleased at our desire to appoint it. 
The House have now an opportunity to consider deliberately on the best methods to procure 
relief from the late Acts of Parliament, an affair of as delicate a nature, and of as much 
importance, as ever came before the Representatives of this, or any other Colony. 

"The gentlemen appointed to attend at the Congress at New York will lay before 
you the several addresses agreed to there, whereby you may judge whether our joining 
in the general addresses is so likely to produce an alleviation of the burthens we so justly 
complain of. 

" I was clearly of opinion, that separate addresses from each Colony would have a greater 
probability of succeeding, and therefore I declined signing them: considering that as a 
majority of your commissioners had joined therein, the Province would partake of all the 
benefits resulting from the general addresses, and if this House should not adopt the senti- 
ments of the Congress, they might be at liberty to make a separate application to the Crown. 

" I am so unhappy as to find that my conduct, which was the consequence of this opinion, 
formed on the most deliberate, impartial, and disinterested reasoning on the subject, has 
been put in an unfavourable light, and has made me the object of too general a resentment; 
I trust that Providence will, in due time, make the rectitude of my heart, and my inviolable 
affection to my country, appear in a fair light to the world, and that my sole aim was the 
happiness of New Jersey. But, as at present, there appears a great dissatisfaction at my 
conduct, that has spread even among some of my constituents, whom I have served many 
years in General Assembly, to the utmost of my abilities, I beg leave of the House, to 

[6] 81 



Cl^e €>gt)cn famili? 



resign my seat in it, whereby my constituents may have an opportunity of sending another 
person in my room, who may act more agreeable to their present sentiments: though 1 
am well assured, that no person can be found, who will study their welfare more sincerely, 
nor pursue it with more steadiness and integrity than I have done. 

" I thank them for the confidence their frequent elections has shown they placed in me, 
and which I never abused, and impute it to error in judgment only, to which all men are 
liable. As I have frequently experienced the good disposition of this House towards me, 
I hope they will indulge me, by accepting the resignation of my seat in the House, and with 
ordering this short and true account of my conduct to be entered on their journals." 

After his resignation, Mr. Ogden resumed his private business at Elizabethtown, and 
continued to act as Commissary for the King's troops stationed in New York and New 
Jersey. When the battle of Lexington occurred and committees of observation and cor- 
respondence were formed, he was a member of the committee for Elizabethtown. 

In 1776 he was Chairman of the Elizabethtown Committee of Safety. His son, Mat- 
thias, was Col. of the ist N. J. Regt. His sons-in-law. Col. Oliver Spencer and Maj. Francis 
Barber, and his son, Aaron Ogden, were officers in other New Jersey regiments. 

Had Robert Ogden not thought and acted as he did, however, no doubt he would have 
represented his State in the National Congress, whose members signed the Declaration 
of Independence. 

But Elizabethtown, after the battle of Long Island and occupation of New York 
and Staten Island by the British, was no longer a safe place of residence for one so prominent 
as he on the patriot side. In the capture of the British Store Ship, "The Blue Mountain 
Valley," in January, 1776, he and members of his family had been very active. As Chair- 
man of the Elizabethtown Committee, under date of Feb. 10, 1776, he gave the President 
of Congress a complete account of the taking of the vessel, which may be found in the Am. 
Archives, 4 Ser., Vol. 4, page 987. 

Two letters, to be found in Haines' "Hardyston Memorial," pages 49 and 50, one 
written Oct. 7, 1776, to his son-in-law, Maj. Francis Barber, and the other from his son, 
Col. Matthias Ogden, just after the battle of Princeton, throw light upon his removal first 
to Morristown and then to Sussex County, and his connection with the army. To Col. 
Barber he writes: 

"We still continue in the old habitation, though almost surrounded by the regulars 
(British troops). They have been on Staten Island, a month on Long Island, and three 
weeks in possession of New York, a large part of which is burned to the ground. A very 
serious part of the story — our troops yesterday evacuated Bergen — carried off the stores 
and artillery, moved off as many of the inhabitants as could get away, and fired all the 
wheat and other grain. 

"Your mother still seems undetermined whether to stay here by the stuff, or remove 
to Sussex. A few days will determine her, but perhaps in a few days it may be too late to 
determine a matter of this importance. " 

The other letter is as follows: — 

"Morris Town, January 6, 1777. 

"Honorable Sir: I send you Mr. Lowrey's letter, who, since it was written, has desired 
me to inform you that the way he does and the method you must take, is to apply to General 
Washington, who will give a warrant for any sum of money you may apply for necessary 
for carrying on your commissary department. I am informed there is a complaint here 
for want of flour, and I think it best you should attend here yourself as soon as possible — 
where you will receive help from the military by General Washington's order, to take wheat 
or any other necessary for the army from such persons as have it to spare without dis- 
tressing their families. General Washington will be here about noon. Forty Waldeckers

were brought in yesterday by the militia. The killed, wounded and prisoners of the enemy 
at Princeton were about 600; our loss of men was about ten or twelve, and of officers six 
or eight, among which was General Mercer. 

"From yours dutifully, M. Ogden. 

"To Robert Ogden, Esq., Sussex." 

He owned large tracts of land in Sussex, extending from the head of the Walkill to 
Franklin Furnace, and upon the mountain to the east. He built his house at Ogdensburgh, 
his wife calling it Sparta, in the hope that there might be inspiration in the name. The 
name has, however, travelled several miles to the southward and the vicinity of Mr. Ogden's 
residence is called after him. This house was built of squared logs in 1777, according to a 
date which was cut upon the chimney. Mr. Chambers, in the Sparta Memorial, says: "It 
stood across the road on the hill, a little to the south of a spot exactly opposite to the present 
Hoppaugh residence." One of his descendants wrote of it: "I have often been in the 
house, but before my advent it was handsomely covered with weather boards and wain- 
scotted and plaistered within. The house was a large one, with a hall running through the 
center. Four rooms were on a floor and a very large kitchen. My great-grandmother and 
her sister, Bettie Hatfield, made this house and its surroundings very beautiful. There 
was a large lawn and garden. Arour^d the lawn were set rose bushes, lilacs and syringas 
in regular order. The whole country was at that time a dense forest." This house was 
destroyed by fire in 1845. 

Dr. George W. Dubois writes: , 

"I recently gathered from the ruins a few of the blue colored bricks which originally 
marked on the outside of the chimney in large figures the date of the erection of the building, 
viz: 1777. Close by stands the house subsequently built by his son, Robert Ogden, and 
in which my mother lived until her marriage." 

Here took place the celebrated robbery by the gang of cowboys under Claudius Smith, 
a very graphic description of which is given by Mr. Haines in his "Memorial." 

The cowboys ransacked the house of everything valuable, but knowing they were 
recognized, compelled Mr. Ogden, by threatening to kill him, to take a solemn oath not to 
divulge who they were or seek their punishment, an oath he religiously observed. An 
alarm was sounded the next morning, however, and pursuit was made. A silver sugar 
bowl, which the thieves had dropped, was recovered and is now in the possession of one 
of the family in Ohio. Other plunder was subsequently recovered. Mr. Ogden afterwards 
barricaded his doors and windows with two-inch plank and was not again disturbed. 

To his Sussex home Mr. Ogden carried with him the religious habits and zeal which 
had always characterized him. Mr. Chambers in his "Sparta Centennial" says: "In the 
record of the first meeting held to organize the church of Hardyston, which was the name 
by which this church was then called, the residence of Robert Ogden, Esq., is spoken of as 
'the present and most usual place of meeting of said congregation.' This was Nov. 23, 
1786, and it is said by good authority that meetings were held and preaching services con- 
ducted from the year 1780. The regular organization was undoubtedly an outgrowth of 
the godly zeal of the above Robert Ogden and his wife." 

Robert Ogden died January 21, 1787, and was buried a little in rear of the meeting- 
house, then not yet completed. His wife survived her husband and died, as has been stated, 
December 22, 1796, and was buried beside him in the Sparta churchyard. 

On his tombstone is inscribed : 

"In public life both in Church and State he filled many important offices with ability 
and integrity. In his private business he was upright, eminently useful, active and diligent. 



Cl^c €)gt)cn !famil^ 



He was temperate and humane. A friend to the poor, hospitable and generous. A most 
faithful, tender and indulgent husband and parent, and above all, his life and conversation 
from his youth was becoming a professor of religion and a follower of the blessed Jesus." 

Upon the tombstone of Mrs. Ogden is inscribed: 

"The righteous shall be had in everlasting remembrance. Sacred to the memory of 
Mrs. Phoebe Ogden, widow of Robt. Ogden, Esq., and daughter of Matthias Hatfield, Esq., 
and his wife, Hannah Miller, of Elizabethtown, N. J. 

"She adorned the various relationships of daughter, sister, wife and mother, friend 
and christian, by affection and love, sincerity and intelligence, resignation and charity, 
meekness and piety in a very eminent degree. During the course of a long life, she was 
beloved, respected, and honored by an extensive acquaintance and numerous progeny."

He studied law and was ready to be admitted to the bar in New Haven,

life were blasted by a hopeless attachment, he being in love with his niece

April, David "appeared to be perfectly rational at that time in his conduct 
& conversation." The will being such a literary curiosity, a verbatim copy 
is herewith given:

angeles Cherubims, Seraphims, — Amen

Dr. Moses Bloomfield was a native of Woodbridge, N. J., and was a man of more 
than ordinary culture and ability. He was clerk of the Freeholders 17 73-1 784. He was 
a fervent patriot, and on May 14, 1777, was made army surgeon in the Continental army, 
being soon appointed Senior Surgeon of the United States hospitals. He was at the hospital 
in Princeton in 1778, as the following minutes of the session of the Council of Safety of 
October 2 will show: "Agreed Dr. Moses Bloomfield be requested to attend the Board 
to-morrow morning at 8 O'clock with a list of the Physicians, Surgeons and Surgeons' mates 
attending at Princeton & the number of sick in the hospital then." 

At Town Meeting held Mar. 11, 1783, it was "Voated that Moses Blumfield be modera- 
tor for the preasant day. " He was one of those to whom Governor William Franklin granted 
a charter for a free school with 100 acres of land for its maintenance, and was appointed 
by the Governor a trustee of the institution.

Dr. Moses Bloomfield was also one of the charter members of the Presbyterian Church 
at Woodbridge, the charter being granted by King George, Sept. 8, 1756. He was laid to 
rest in its bivying ground, where a stone bears the following inscription: 

"Dr Moses Bloomfield, 
40 years Physician and Surgeon 
in this Town; senior Phy- 
sician and Surgeon in the Hospitals of 
the United States; Representative in 
the provincial Congress and Ge- 
neral Assembly; an upright 
Magistrate; Elder of the Pres- 
byterian Church, &c. Born 
December the 4th, 1729, died Aut.

Gov. Joseph Bloomfield349 was born at Woodbridge, Middlesex Co., 
N. J. He was educated in the schools of the time, and entered the office of 
Cortlandt Skinner, at one time Attorney General of the State, and an eminent 
lawyer. Mr. Bloomfield was licensed in 1775 and commenced the practice 
of his legal profession in Bridgeton, N. J. He soon joined the Continental 
army and rose to the rank of Captain of the Third N. J. Regt., and remained 
in active service until 1778. "The Judicial and Civil Hist, of N. J." states: 
"His services during the Revolutionary war were of a distingviished character, 
but one of the duties which he was called upon to perform must have been 
very distasteful to him. His former preceptor, Cortlandt Skinner, was at 
one time favorable to the cause of the colonies, but later on he changed his 
course and became a Royalist, still retaining his office of Attorney General 
of this State. A letter which he wrote to his brother, a Lieutenant Colonel 
in the British army, was intercepted and orders given for his arrest. Capt. 
Bloomfield was deputed to perform that service, but fortunately for him, 
certainly for the District Attorney, Skinner had, in some manner, received 
an intimation of his intended arrest and had left the State." 

While in the army, Capt. Bloomfield was appointed Judge Advocate of 
t that part of it detailed for service in the Northern Colonies. He left the active 

[ Q\j \ service in 1778, and became Clerk of the Assembly. When William Patter- 

son resigned his office of Attorney General, Joseph Bloomfield349 succeeded 
him. In i^-^*-, he was elected Governor as a Republican over Howell, known 
as a Federalist, and held the office until 181 2, with the exception of the year 
'(/^ 1802, when there was a tie in the vote for that office and no election. He was 

K^ succeeded in 181 2 by Gov. Aaron Ogdensis. He served in the War of 18 12 

as Brig. General. 

"Joseph Bloomfield's349 action as Chancellor cannot be appreciated, 
as there is no record of any of his decisions. The business in the Court of 
Chancery increased materially during his term of office, and some few of his 
opinions were reported several years after his retirement. He was undoubt- 
edly a man of considerable ability, of unquestionable probity, and of great 
benevolence. "

He became successively Vice-President and President of the Society 
of the Cincinnati. Gov. Bloomfield349 took a very active interest in public 
affairs, not only in politics, but in many benevolent associations. "He was 
always a prominent citizen in whatever community he lived, and his influence 
was ever exerted for the right. A singular circumstance is related of him, 
in connection with his office as Chancellor. When he first took his seat, it is 
reported that he requested that he should not be addressed by the title of 
'Your Excellency.' A very eccentric lawyer was then a practitioner in the 
court, and with great solemnity addressed the Chancellor almost immediately 
after this announcement, in these words: 'May it please your Excellency: 
Your Excellency's predecessors were addressed by the title of Excellency, 
and if your Excellency pleases, the proper title of the Governor of the State 
was and is. Your Excellency. I humbly pray, therefore, on my own behalf, 
and on the behalf of the bar generally that we may be permitted by your 
Excellency's leave, to address your Excellency when sitting in the High 
Court of Chancery, by the ancient title of Your Excellency.' There was no 
further demur, after this, on the part of the Governor, as to the mode in which 
he should be addressed. He was twice elected a member of Congress, and 
died in 1825." Bloomfield, N. J., was named in his honor in 1796. Gov- 
ernor BLOOMFIELD349 and wife Mary (Mcllvaine) Bloomfield are not 
known to have had issue.

" Dickinson's Records " furnish the following facts concerning Lewis Ogdenisj, except 
in matter of birth. He was born in Newark, N. J., and graduated at Princeton in 1753. 
His diploma, now in the possession of Charles F. Southmayd, Esq., is signed by Aaron Burr, 
President, father of Vice-President Aaron Burr. He was a resident of Newark, and was 
Clerk of the Prerogative Court from about 1765 to 1775. 

The Provincial Congress of New Jersey met at Burlington, N.J., on June 10, 1776. 
The first question debated at this meeting was whether the colony should declare its inde- 
pendence. This was determined by a vote of 50 to 7. On June 24 a committee was formed 
to draft a constitution; a report was made two days later, and on July 2 the organic law 
was adopted. "The committee was a very able one; among its members were John Cleves 
Symmes, afterwards one of the Associate Justices of the Supreme Court, and Jonathan D. 
Sergeant, both able lawyers. The Chairman and Silas Condit represented Morris County; 
John Cooper came from Gloucester; Jonathan D. Sergeant, from Somerset; Lewis Ogden, 
from Essex; Jonathan Elmer, from Cumberland; Elijah Hughes, from Cape May; John 
Cowenhoven, from Monmouth; and James Dick, from Salem." — "Judicial and Civil Hist. 
of N.J." 

In 1786 Lewis Ogdeni32 removed to the city of New York, where he and Peter Hill 
of Newark bought five blocks at public sale, being a part of the old De Lancey farm, east of 
Division street and south of Grand street. He was president of the St. Cecelia Society from 
about 1790 to time of his death in 1798.

The Rev. Dr. Uzal Ogden'sS ^vas a man of excellent parts, of ripe scholarship and 
broad sympathies. He was graduated at Princeton College in 1762. In 1770 he prepared 
for holy orders, and in the summer of 1773 went to England and was ordained Deacon 
and Priest by the Bishop of London, at Fulham Palace, Sept. 21, 1773. Upon his return 
to New Jersey he entered upon missionary work in Sussex Co., where in 1776 he married 
Mary Gouverneur. • 

On Easter Monday, Apr. 5, 1779, it was unanimously agreed that Uzal Ogden4S, Warden 
of Trinity Ch., Newark, write to his son Rev. Uzal Ogden, "and desire him to visit the 
Parish at Newark & Second River and confer with them respecting his Preaching to them 
& administering the Sacraments at certain times as shall be agreed upon." 

On Aug. 2, 1784, Rev. Uzal Ogden met with the Vestry of Trinity Ch., Newark, and 
St. John's Ch., Elizabethtown, and proposed to preach in Trinity Ch., New York, 17 Sundays 
in the year, 17 Sundays in St. John's Ch., Elizabethtown, and 17 Sundays in Trinity Ch., 
Newark; one Sunday to be devoted to the church of Sussex. Each of the two churches to

offer was unanimously accepted. Wharton Dickinson says he was assistant rector at Old 
Trinity, New York, from the above year to 1788, when he was called to the rectorship of 
Trinity Ch., Newark, N. J., and the following^^ year to that of St. John's, Elizabeth, N. J., 
serving both parishes jointly until 1805. 

In 1792 Rev. Uzal, Abraham and Moses Ogden were connected with the rebuilding 
of the Academy in Newark that had been burned. At a meeting of the Academy officers 
in Dec. 1794 it was resolved that Rev. Uzal Ogden be empowered to sell the negro man 
James, donated by Mr. Watts to the Academy, for as much money as the negro would com- 
mand. It is evident that Rev. Uzal owned slaves and land, and the records facetiously 
state that the slaves raised corn, the hogs ate the corn, and in turn the slaves ate the hogs, 
leaving small profit for the master. 

During his ministry he became afflicted with throat trouble that so impaired his voice 
one half of his congregation were unable to hear him. This occasioned serious disaffection 
and discussion, and at a meeting held June 4, 1803, it was resolved that they recommend 
to the Vestry and Wardens that Dr. Ogden be removed and another rector be called to his 
place. The records state "that in making this recommendation we do not intend to reflect 
upon the conduct of Doct. Ogden." All voted for the resolution except Moses and Charles 
Ogden, and after a lively discussion it was agreed to offer Dr. Ogden a pension for life of 
$250 a year or ;£5oo in five annual installments if he would deliver up the church property 
of every kind in his possession. 

In 1798 he received the degree of D.D. from Princeton, and was also elected first Bishop 
of New Jersey, but the general convention refused to ratify the election, owing to serious 
differences between Dr. Ogden and his parishioners on questions of doctrine.

He withdrew from the Prot. Epis. Ch. in 1805 and united with the Presbyterian Ch. 
but without a charge. He was a man of advanced spiritual attainments, and gave the early 
Methodists much counsel and encouragement during their persecutions. 

In 1826 the city of Newark received a bequest of $4000 from the estate of the Rev. 
Dr. Uzal Ogden 138 for the education and support of poor orphaned children.

Having pronounced ability and equipments for mercantile life, he entered 
into partnership with John Jacob Astor, Sr., of New York, in the year 181 6 
for business in China. Mr. Ogden took up his residence in Canton, and an 
extensive and lucrative trade was the result. He died in 1823, and Mr. Astor 
took charge of all the firm's papers, and disputed Mr. Ogden's claims. In 
the year 1840, Samuel Gouverneur Ogden4o6 undertook the settlement of 
his deceased brother's estate and employed the expert lawyer Charles O'Connor 
as chief counsel. After 16 years of legal battle, Mr. Ogden gained the suit, 
and Mr. Astor compromised for $200,000. 

The Newark Sentinel of Freedom of Mar. 2, 1824, had the following: 
"At Canton (China) on the 15th of Aug. Mr. Nicholas G. Ogden in the 47th 
year of his age. Eldest son of the Rev. Dr. Ogden, dec'd. Few men have 
been more highly and deservedly esteemed, or more deeply regretted by a 
numerous circle of friends than Mr. Ogden. He had resided in China for many 
years, as agent for one of our most respectable mercantile houses, and was 
on the eve of returning to his home and family."

d. Nov. 24, 1 781 ; son of John Caldwell and Margaret Phillips, his wife. 

The Caldwells were of Scotch descent. John Caldwell married Margaret Phillips in 
Co. Antrim, Ireland, and with four single sisters came to America early in 1700 and 
first settled at Chestnut Level, Lancaster Co., Pa., but soon removed and located on 
"Cub Creek," a branch of the Staunton river, in what is now Charlotte Co., Va. He had a 
dau. Martha who was mother to John Caldwell Calhoun of S.C., and here, in the wildernesSi 
James, the youngest of seven children was born in Apr. 1734. The place was generally known 
as "The Caldwell Settlement," or "Cub Creek." 

James Caldwell was prepared for college under the tutorage of Rev. James Todd, 
and entered Princeton College at 15 yrs. of age, when the institution was located in Newark. 
He graduated in Sept. 1759 and pursued theological studies under Pres. Davies. He was 
licensed by the Presbytery of New Brunswick July 29, 1760; was ordained Sept. 17, 1760, 
and appointed to supply southern vacancies, especially those in the Carolinas. 

He was called to the pastorate of the Presbyterian Church, Elizabethtown, in Nov. 
1 7 61, and was installed in Mar. 1762, with an annual salary of £160. On Mar. 14, 1763, 
just one year after entering this pastorate, he married Hannah Ogdenmz, dau. of Judge 
John Ogden46, of Newark, N.J. 

When Whitefield was on his way from Philadelphia to New York he preached 
morning and evening in Mr. Caldwell's church, the privilege being denied by the Rev. 
Mr. Chandler, rector of St. John's. 

Rev. Mr. Caldwell was of an ardent temperament and entered at once into the full 
discussions of the great questions underlying the colonial struggle for freedom, both from 
his pulpit in sermons and prayers, and in his pastoral intercourse. No religious society 
took a bolder stand for independence than his church, from which congregation 40 com- 
missioned officers alone went forth, not counting the many non-commissioned officers and 
privates, and at the request of his soldier congregation Mr. Caldwell entered the field as 
their chaplain. He took an active part in military operations, and his patriotism and fervent 
zeal led the British to call him "The Black Rebel," and the patriots "The Fighting Parson." 
The Journals of Congress show that on Mar. 15, 1777, $200 were ordered to be "paid Rev. 
James Caldwell of Elizabeth Town for extraordinary services," and on May 27, $4,873.54

were ordered to be "paid Rev. James Caldwell for the services of a company of light horse, 
Capt. Jacob Wynans, their horsehire and expenses." He also acted as Ass't Commissary 
General. His house at Elizabethtown was burned by the Hessians and Tories who tried 
to capture him, but he moved his family away, and as often as possible returned to preach 
to his people. On one occasion he preached with loaded pistols lying on his pulpit, while 
sentinels watched outside. 

Despite the fact that his wife was cruelly shot and killed by a British soldier at Con- 
necticut Farms, June 25, 1780, "Mr. Caldwell continued in the discharge of the various 
duties to which, in these several capacities, he was called, month by month, until the autumn 
of 1 781. The last record made of him by the Presbytery was meeting May 7, 1782, at New 
Providence. It is in these words: 'The Rev° James Caldwell departed this life, falling 
by the hands of a Cruel Murderer, on the 24th of November, 1781.' 

"The funeral services were performed on Tuesday, the 27th, the whole town suspending 
all business and gathering in uncontrollable grief at the house of Mrs. Noel. The Rev. Dr. 
Alex. McWhorter of Newark performed the services, and preached from Ecc. viii: 8. 
An opportunity was given the people to view the corpse, in front of the house in the open 
street. After all had taken their last look, and before the coffin was closed Dr. Boudinot 
came forward, leading nine orphan children, and placing them around the bier of their 
parent, made an address of surprising pathos to the multitude in their behalf. 

"Mr. Caldwell left but a scanty patrimony at the best. The Hon. Elias Boudinot 
cheerfully took upon himself the administration of the estate and the care of the children. 
The patrimony was eventually rendered productive, the children were well educated, and 
all of them became respectable and useful. They were, also, greatly befriended by Mrs. 
Noel, Gen'l Lincoln, President Washington, and the Marquis de La Fayette." — "Hat- 
field's Elizabeth." 

A marble slab was placed over the graves of Rev. Caldwell and his wife in the First 
Pres. ch. yd., Elizabeth, inscribed as follows: 

"SACRED TO THE MEMORY

priate ceremonies, Nov. 24, 1845, ^ commemorative address being delivered by the Rev 
Samuel Miller, D.D., of Princeton, N. J. The marble slab was then imbedded in the rear

Epis. faith. In early life he went to Colebrook, Conn., where he was employed as clerk for an 
Englishman named Smith, who owned and operated an iron-works, and at which place he 
married Jerusha Rockwell in 1772. At the opening of the Revolution, Mr. Smith returned 
to England, leaving the iron-works in charge of Jacob Ogden, but the works were acci- 
dentally l)urned Aug. 30, 1781. Jacob then removed to Hartford where he became an enter- 
prising merchant. He built the long wooden block on the south side of Ferry street, and for 
his residence the building on State street formerly known as the "Exchange Hotel," which 
was burned a few years ago. He lost much money in connection with the building of the 
"State House," being paid in lands having defective titles, and being seriously embarrassed, 
he removed to Washington Bridge, between Milford and Stratford, where he kept a public 
house. In 1804 he opened a hotel in New Haven which was for twenty years celebrated as 
the "Coffee House." 

Jacob Ogden 's^ was an energetic man, of strong social qualities, witty and quick at 
repartee. He was a vestryman in Christ Church, Hartford, having been a liberal subscriber 
toward its erection. The original subscription paper, dated Nov. 28, 1786, and still among 
the parish papers, has the following entries among the many donations: "John Morgan 
£t,6; Jacob Ogden £24; John Thomas ;£2o; Samvtel Cutter £10; Major John Caldwell 
;£io in pure spirits; John Chenward one hogshead Molasses; Barnabas Deen ;£io in building 
material or in rum; Noah Webster Jr. seven dozen spelling books £;i." Jacob Ogden 
and John Morgan agreed with Ebenezer Clark, joiner, to finish the church. One entry reads:

from the second story of the old court house, Newark, which stood on the west side of Broad 
street, oposite the present Presbyterian church. But in the latter part of 1776 the old Judge 
and his sons Isaac 74, Nicholas>8i, and Peter 182 affiliated with the Royalist party, and their 
property was condemned and sold during the war. However, Isaac's brothers Abraham 
and Samuel remained stanch and active patriots. 

Judge Isaac Ogden '74 was said to have built a store on the northeast corner of Broad 
and Market streets, Newark, where the First National Bank now stands. His house in 
Newark was alternately the residence of the British General and the American Commander 
as either party happened to be successful. "In this way his young family became subject 
to all the horrors attending a residence in the seat of war." But his loyalty to the mother 
country becoming pronounced, he sought safety as a refugee in New York; and when the 
British evacuated that section in 1783 he abandoned his property and prospects and took 
his family to England. There is every evidence that, like his father, he was honest in his 
convictions, for several biographers represent him as a man of sterling integrity and of great 
moral worth. 

The sufferings he had undergone, and the sacrifices he had made, together with his 
learning and legal ability, attracted the attention of the English government, and after the 
close of the war he was appointed Judge of the Admiralty at Quebec by King George III. 
in the year 1788. He at once re-crossed the ocean and established his family in Quebec, 
where his natural energy of character enabled him to retrieve much of his losses, although his 
salary was small in meeting the demands of the rank he was obliged to assume. "His manner 
on the bench was impressive for its energy and acuteness, and his legal opinions were delivered 
with perspicuity and decision." 

During the administration of Lord Dorchester, he was appointed one of the Puisne 
Judges of the Dist. of Montreal and he immediately removed his family to the latter city.

While attending to his judicial duties he was taken with a "painful and incurable disease 
brought on by the sedentary nature of his profession." When not in bed he never failed to 
appear in his seat on the bench, but the heroic struggle had to be given up, and in 1818 
his general health was such he sailed for England for medical assistance and underwent two 
painful and dangerous operations, but they did not stay the disease. His advanced age 
was against him in this, but his cheerful disposition did not desert him, and he still mani- 
fested great strength of intellect. He took continuous interest in all public affairs and had 
the various publications of the day read to him by a member of his family. As the end 
approached he expressed great happiness in being peculiarly fortunate in being surrounded 
by his devoted wife and so many of his children and grandchildren. "It was a blessing," 
he said, "allowed to but very few at 85." 

An English biographer adds: "Such were the last moments of this exemplary man, 
and such were the consolatory feelings and strong hope which actuated him at this awful 
period, that it could have sprung from no source but a deep and well-founded confidence 
in the promises of revelation, and a calm conscience arising from a well-spent life. 
It deserves to be mentioned as a proof of the estimation in which the long and tried services 
of Mr. Ogden were held, that our gracious Sovereign specially recommended to the Colonial 
Legislature, to make a more suitable provision for his declining age, and for his widow in 
case of her surviving him, a measure they had not adopted at the time of his death." 

Judge Isaac Ogden's last will states, "I, Isaac Ogden, of the town of Taunton, Somerset 
Co. England, one of His Majesty's Justices of the Court of the Kings Bench for the District 
of Montreal, Canada, this 13th day of Feb. 1823. Since making former wills have removed 
to England for the recovery of my health, many changes having taken place, the death of 
my eldest son David, I leave all to my wife Sarah Ogden, either in England or America, 
and after her death to her children and grand children." 

Mary {Browne) Ogden, first wife of Judge Isaac Ogden' 74, was dau. of Rev. Isaac 
Browne, formerly of Brook-Haven, L. I. He was graduated from Yale College in 1729, 
was accounted "a man of talents and education," and made rector of Trinity P. E. Church, 
Newark, N. J., in 1744. Mary (Browne) Ogden was buried in Newark, her epitaph reading 
as follows: "Mary, the wife of Isaac Ogden, Esq., — here rested from the hurry of life, on 
the 15th of March, 1722, aged 26 years. 

"Could the softness which adorned, — 'COuld the piety and benevolence which endeared 
human nature, — could tenderest friendship or purest love disarm the king of terrors, — she 
had not died." 

Sarah (Hanson) Ogden, second wife of Judge Isaac Ogden' 74, "was a lady of rank and 
endowments, every way equal to the station she filled. Being descended from one of the 
first families who had emigrated to the now United States, she brought him a large fortune 
which she inherited in her own right; but her property as well as that of her husband was 
lost in the revolutionary convulsion." Hers is the only gravestone inscription in the grave- 
yard at Three Rivers, Canada. 

Many of the descendants of Judge Isaac Ogden '74 are still living in Canada.

John Greig Ogden^Ts, a descendant of Abraham Ogdeni76, contributes the follow- 
ing biography : 

"Abraham Ogden, the third son of David Ogden, was born at Newark, N. J., in 1743. 
He married Sarah Frances Ludlow, daughter of Thomas Ludlow, a wealthy and prominent 
citizen of New York. 

"He became a distinguished lawyer, and is said to have had no equal before a jury. 
He was also Surrogate of Morris Co., N. J., holding the office for many years, and residing 
in Morristown until the end of the Revolutionary War. He then removed to Newark, N. J., 
having been appointed by Washington as the first U. S. Attorney for that District, and 
died there in 1798 at the early age of 55, leaving a large family. It was the good fortune 
of Mr. Ogden and his family to be on terms of friendly intercourse with Washington, who, 
while a portion of the Continental Army was quartered at or near Morristown, passed much 
of his time at the house of his friend 'Squire Ogden,' as he was then called. It appears 
that the General took a particular interest in his host's son Thomas Ludlow, and would 
often make his rounds among the army with the boy mounted before him on his saddle. 
It was about this time that the following incident, not without historic interest, occurred. 
The General, seeing a pair of foils, playfully challenged his young companion to a fencing 
match. After a few thrusts, the button flew off the boy's foil, the unprotected point of 

103

which penetrated the General's hand, inflicting a slight flesh wound and drawing the only 
blood shed by him during the war. The Royalist sentiments of the boy's grandfather 
David Ogden, 'the old Judge,' as he was called, were well known in the community, and 
the report got abroad that an attempt had been made to assassinate the Commander in 
Chief while among his Tory friends. The anecdote, as a matter of family history, is well 
authenticated. " 

Abraham Ogden '76 was member of the Legislature of New Jersey in 1790, and was 
U. S. Dist. Attorney 1792-8. Some of the most eminent men of the country studied law in 
his office, among them being Richard Stockton, Gabriel Ford and Josiah Ogden Hoffman. 

Gen. Washington appointed him a commissioner to obtain the relinquishment of a 
title which the Iroquois Nation of Indians held to a part of northern New York state. This 
gained for him a knowledge of the country lying south of the St. Lawrence river, and resulted 
in the purchase of a large tract of country by himself, his brother Samuel Ogden, Gouverneur 
Morris, Nicholas Hoffman, Richard Harison, and Stephen Van Rensselaer, and Ogdensburg 
was founded. •

Col. Samuel Ogden 178 was born in Newark, N. J., was a prominent Episcopalian, and 
an ardent patriot during the Revolutionary War, in which service he was a Colonel of N.J. 
Militia. He was a man of great business tact and energy, and operated an iron works at 
Boonton, N. J. The following advertisement appeared in the New York Packet of 
Sept. 27, 1781 : 

"The Nail Manufactory is now carried on at Booneton near Morris Town, in all its 
branches, where any qtiantity may be had at moderate terms, on the shortest notice; made 
in the neatest manner, of the following sizes. Card Tacks, Saddlers Tacks, of all sizes; 
3d. nails for Lathing, 4d, ditto, for Shingling; and also 6d. 8d. lod. i2d. 2od. and 24d. Nails. 
Best Refined Rod Iron, also to be sold. 

"Booneton August 9, 1781. Sam. Ogden" 

104 



^ijcti^ d^eneratton 



Iron was shipped to England free of duty, but had to pay tribute to the British treasury 
if used in this country. Col. Samuel Ogden had a grist-mill at Boonton which could con- 
veniently turn out grist, but in which contraband iron was said to be manufactured, it 
being a slitting mill for the production of nail rods. The patriotic colonists, not being on 
good terms with the mother country, were at this time considering such taxation very 
unjust burdens. When it became rumored that Col. Samuel Ogden's grist-mill was turning 
out slitted iron. Gov. Franklin and suite came to investigate. "It is said that the very 
excellent dinner prepared by Mrs. Ogden and the more potent fact that the Governor was 
himself pecuniarily interested in the mill, led him to say as he with some parade looked at 
the little grist-mill, then grinding corn, that ' he knew there was nothing in the story.' 

As given in the biography of his brother Abrahami76, Col. Samuel Ogden was one of 
the landed company that bought a large tract in northern New York south of the St. Law- 
rence. The following advertisement is from the Albany Gazette of June 7, 1787; 

"Ten townships of unappropriated lands on the south side of the St. Lawrence River 
will be sold at public vendue at the Coffee House in the City of New York July 10, 1787. 
Madrid and Oswegatchie will be sold by single lots or mile squares : — the balance by quarters 
of Townships." 

The principal purchaser was Alexander Macomb, who subsequently acted a distinguished 
part in the northern purchases. On May 3, 1792, Macomb conveyed to Col. Samuel Ogden, 
in trust for himself. Gen. Henry Knox, Robert Morris, and Gouverneur Morris, for £3200, 
the four townships of Hague, Cambray, Oswegatchie and DeKalb, with the stipulation 
that Col. Ogden should convey to Gen. Knox 44,114 acres, to Robert Morris 60,641 acres, 
and to Gouverneur Morris 60,641 acres of this tract. This left Col. Ogden 90,000/acres, 
all of Oswegatchie and a part of DeKalb, Cambray and Madrid townships. Col^ Ogden 
sold DeKalb to Judge William Cooper, father of J. Fenimore Cooper, the author/ 

Nov. 24, 1807, Col. Samuel Ogden moved to quash indictment of Aaron Burr for murder 
of General Hamilton. — Centinel of Freedom. 

Col. Samuel Ogdenits was a very prominent Churchman and was a delegate to all 
the conventions from 1791 to 1809. He was married by the Rev. Samuel Seabury on Sunday 
Feb. 5, 1775, to EuPHEMiA Morris, sister of Gouverneur Morris and Lewis Morris, a signer 
of the Declaration of Independence. A tablet inscribed to her memory is in Grace Church, 
New York, Broadway and loth street, which reads, "Euphemia Ogden Relict of Samuel 
Ogden Esq. of Newark, N. J. Born Sept. 10, 1754, Died June 2, 1818." "Isabella W 
Ogden, her daughter. Born Feb. 17, 1787. Died 15th April 1820."

Nicholas Ogden'Si, with his father Judge Davidso, remained loyal to King George III. 
during the Revolutionary War, and "Dickinson's Notes" state he went to Shelboume, Nova 
Scotia, in 1783, but returned after 1800. While in Nova Scotia he received grants of land 
from the crown, as appear in the following record: "Register of Probate and Deeds Office, 
R. G. Irwin Registrar. Shelbourne, N. S. — Grant of land to Nicholas Ogden from the crown 
— King George the Third, April ist 1784. — The land situated on Eastern side of Jordan 
Bay about three miles below the mouth of the Jordan River — one parcel containing 200 
acres. — Another 600 acres granted to Nicholas Ogden, Joshua Watson and Bartholemew 
Sullivan as Tennants in common. — Another grant to Nicholas Ogden of Town Lot in St. 
John's Division. Letter I. No 9 — " All of which Nicholas and Hannah his wife sell to

windmills (mill iron & iron work complete for a water mill) — Mill Dam Fishings privileges 
&c. &c. which Nicholas Ogden also deeded to Joshua Watson. (Signed) Valentine Nutter, 
Justice of the Peace." 

Nicholas Ogden >8i was vestryman of Christ Church, Parish St. Patrick and St. George, 
Shelbourne, N.S., from 1789 to 1800. He was Barrack Master 1793-4, Overseer of River 
Fishery and Justice of the Peace from 1784 to 1800. His house, framed from white oak 
and brought from the U. S., is still standing in the centre of the town. 

There is an inscription at Shelboume that is connected with a pathetic story told by 
the rector of Christ Church. The inscription runs thus: "Sacred / to the memory of / 
Patrick Maxwell, Esq. /' Ensign in His Majesty's 6th / or First Warwickshire Infantry / 
son of William Maxwell / of Springkill Bar, N. B. / who was unfortunately / upset in a 
sail boat /July loth 1790 — & drowned / aged 19 / deeply regretted by his parents & by 
all / who knew him. " The rector explains that the young ensign lost his life in saving that 

106

of Nicholas Ogden. Both were depending upon one oar that proved insufficient to keep 
them afloat, and Mr. Ogden made some reference to his wife and children, when young 
Maxwell immediately said there was no one depending upon him, and letting go the oar 
was drowned. Two other members of the same regiment were also drowned. 

Nicholas OgdeniSi returned from Nova Scotia about 1800 and was a resident of Newark, 
N. J., at the time of his death. The Newark Ccntinel of Freedom of Feb. 25, 181 2, has: "Died, 
yesterday a. m. Nicholas Ogden, Esq. of Newark, age 59." The same paper bearing date 
Sept. 10, 1816, has : "Died, on the 6th, Hannah, wife of the late Nicholas Ogden, Esq., 
of Newark, in her sgth year. " The parents and their children are buried in a little cemetery 
on Rector street, Newark, in the rear of Trinity Church Chapel. 

His will was dated, New York, Dec. 13, lygg/and proved, Newark, June 10, 1812. In 
it he speaks of himself as being of Shelbourne/N. S., and names wife Hannah, daughters 
Alida and Gertrude, sons Henry and David. He gives them one equal sixth part when 
they shall respectively attain to the age of 21 years. The executors were Thomas Barclay 
of New York, Edward Brinley of Shelbourne, N. S., and nephews David A. and Thomas 
L. Ogden, of New York City. 

All that is known of his children is from Christ Church records, parish of St. Patrick 
and St. George, Shelbourne, N. S., excepting the first three children, who were probably 
born in Newark, N. J.

She was a remarkable personality, and bright and active when an old

visited this country in 1824, she was one of a group of young ladies presented 
to him in New York. Assuming they were all daughters of patriots, he 
asked concerning her father, when she spiritedly replied, "My father, sir, 
was loyal to his king and country." Upon this the Marquis complimented 
her for having the courage to stand by the principles of her father. It was 
she who had the gravestones of Capt. David Ogdeno and Col. Josiah Ogden^o 
imbedded in the floor of the porch of Trinity Episcopal Church, Newark, 
N. J. Her gravestone is the only one of the family stones bearing dates.

" Bolton's Hist, of Westchester Co., N. Y.," says: "The orthography of the surname 
is properly Corte-landt ; the first syllable Corte or Korte, meaning in the Dutch language 
'short,' the second landt, (land) literally the short land, a term expressing the peculiar 
form of the ancient Duchy of Courland in Russia." 

Philip Van Cortlandt was the eldest of three children, and a graduate of King's 
College. He was a Tory during the Revolution and his estates were forfeited. "He is not 
to be confounded with his uncle of similar name, the Patriot Colonel, who became the an- 
cestor of the Van Cortlandts of Cortlandt Manor. He entered the British Army as Major 
of the third Battalion, N. J. Loyal Volunteers. After the war his estates were confiscated 
and he went to England. He d. May i, 1814, and was buried at Harlsham, where a mural 
monument is erected. His sons received commissions." 

He is said to have had twenty-three children, of whom we have seventeen.

served in his stead for two terms, while his father was at home providing for his family, 
and baking bread from the flour provided for the patriot troops, which he carried to the 
army at Morristown. Tradition says that John OoDEN^a^ was an uncommonly active 
patriot, acted as a scout, and required his Tory neighbors to pay a just, if unwilling, tribute 
to the cause.

Abigail Ogden^ss was dau. of David Ogden^* of Snarling Street, a locality about two 
and a half miles east of Morristown, N. J.; she d. soon after her second marriage, from 
which there was no issue. Enoch Goble, her second husband, shortly married Mary Cooper, 
who doubtless proved an excellent step-mother to Abigail (Ogden) Stiles' children, for 
after the latter reached majority and were married, two of them, John and James, each 
named a child for her. 

Thomas Stiles, first husb. of Abigail Ogden^ss, was son of Jonathan Stiles, of Morris- 
town, N. J., called "Long Jonathan" on account of his great size. He came to Morris Co., 
N. J., about 1726, from Stratford, Conn., where he was born, and where his ancestors had long 
lived. He is said to be the ancestor of all the Stiles Family in that part of the state. David 
Stiles, son of Thomas Stiles, was made administrator of his father's estate in Apr. 1803. 
The following eight children of Thomas and Abigail are not known to be named in the regular

Jonathan Ogden^so was a resident of Morristown, N. J., and a man of ability, worth, 
and influence. From 1805 to 181 2 he was Judge of the county court. He was member of 
the Assembly from Morris Co. 1802-4, filling the office with great credit. He was one of 
the most liberal subscribers to the fund raised to purchase the "Morristown Green," which 
was then owned by the First Presbyterian Church, and which a few public-spirited citizens 
bought and presented to the town, providing in the deed of gift that no buildings of any 
kind should be allowed upon it. He was also largely instrumental in organizing the "State 
Bank at Morris," which stood on the corner of Bank street and the park. The only mention 
of Jonathan Ogden^so now found on the pages of Morris county history is in connection 
with some meritorious deed. 

He was a trustee of the First Presbyterian Church, where he and his wife became 
members under the half-way covenant. May 4, 1775. He was doubtless the Jonathan 
Ogden of Morris Co. who served in Capt. Bonnell's Co., ist Reg't of the Continental army, in 
the Revolutionary War.

Nathaniel Ogden24i was a Quartermaster in the Continental Army. He was at one 
time a prisoner in the hands of the British at White Plains, and was one night approached 
by an officer, who was a brother Mason, and told where he might find a horse hidden, and 
ready for a rider. In the morning the prisoner was missing. He was with Washington 
at the battle of Trenton, and spent the next winter in the camp at Morristown. After the 
Revolution he removed to Coeymans, on the Hudson River, where he died. His claim 
against the Government for bounty is recorded in the Land Papers at Albany, N. Y., 
under date of June 18, 1790. 

The will of his sister Elizabeth (Ogden) Barnet has this clause: "To the children of 
my brother Nathaniel, the sum of $2,000 to be equally divided among them."

first place of residence, and after being a short time at White House, N. J., he removed to

property and was widely known as a most estimable and useful citizen. He became a mem- 
ber of the Medical Society in 1788. During the latter years of his life he almost abandoned 
the practice of medicine, and acted as postmaster of the town. 

He was a man of purest life, a practical Christian, promoting the interests of religion 
by every means in his power. He had the respect and esteem of all who knew him. Sub- 
sequent to 1820 he removed to New Brunswick, N. J., where he died in 1829, and was buried 
in the graveyard of the First Reformed Church. His memorial stone has the following 
inscription: "Sacred to the memory of Dr. Isaac Ogden, who departed this life on the

Catharine (Corey) Ogden afterward married Rev. Moses Edwards, son of Jacob 

Edwards and Feitje Spier, his wife, of Northfield, N. J., known until 1801 as "Canoe Brook. " 

The church at that place was constituted Apr. 19, 1786, with eleven members, one of whom 

was Moses Edwards, a farmer and blacksmith, who was chosen first pastor. After a week 

of toil, it was often his habit to enter the pulpit on Sunday without previous study or notes 

and select as his text the first passage of Scripture that met his eye. His education was 

limited, but he had eminent natural gifts, and the church was never more prosperous under 

any succeeding ministry. He ist in. Desire Meeker, dau. of Timothy Meeker. After his 

marriage to the widow Ogden, he removed his family to Ohio where several of his sons and 

daughters had preceded him. He d. at Dunhamtown, now called Bethel, O., May 4, 1827,

Col. Oliver Spencer was b. at East Haddam, Conn. The Spencer family originated 
there, where two of the name were among the first settlers, in 1662. He came to Elizabeth- 
town, N. J., where he married and remained until late in life, when he removed to Cincin- 
nati, O., where both he and his wife died and were buried at Wesley Chapel. 

He was a deacon in the First Pres.Ch., Elizabeth, N. J., and took an active part in the 
Revolutionary War, attaining the rank of Colonel of N. J. troops. 

A slab in Wesley Chapel reads: "In memory of Colonel Oliver Spencer, who 

entered into life on the 22 day of Jan^ 1811, after 75 years of affliction and toil. He was a 

Soldier, a Friend, a Patriot, and above all a Christian." The slab contains also his wife's

Hon. Timothy Edwards and wife resided at Stockbridge, Mass., until 1762, when they 
removed to Elizabethtown, N. J.; they returned to Stockbridge in 1770, where they are 
buried. 

Rhoda (Ogden) Edwards died at Litchfield, Conn., while visiting friends. She was a 
remarkable woman, loyal and conscientious. An autobiography of a nephew by inarriage 
has this important entry: "In the summer of 1809 I met my cousin Aaron Burr at the house 
of our common uncle Hon. Timothy Edwards in Stockbridge. . . . The day after Burr left 
our uncle's I called at the house to talk over the impressions of this unwonted visit. My 
aunt was a venerable and pious woman. ' I want to tell you cousin,' said she, 'the scene I 
passed through this morning. When Col. Burr's carriage had driven up to the door, I asked 
him to go with me into the north room, and I cannot tell you how anxious I felt, as I, an 
old woman, went through the hall with that great man Col. Burr, to admonish him, and 
to lead him to repentance. After we were by ourselves I said to him: "Colonel Burr, I 
have a thousand memories associated with you. I took care of you in your childhood, 
and I feel the deepest concern over your erring steps. You have committed a great many 
sins against God, and you killed that great and good man General Hamilton. I beseech

you to repent, and fly to the blood and righteousness of the Redeemer for pardon. I cannot 
bear to think of you as being lost, and I often pray most earnestly for your salvation." 
The only reply he made me,' continued the excellent old lady, 'was, "Oh! aunt, don't feel 
so badly; we shall both meet in heaven yet; meanwhile may God bless you." He then 
tenderly took my hand, and left the house.' "

Robert Ogden, 30310 was b. at Elizabethtown, N. J. He entered the College of New 
Jersey at 16 years of age, and graduated at 19, in the year 1765. He studied law under 
Richard Stockton, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, and became a 
prominent barrister. After being admitted to the bar, June 21, 1770, Governor Franklin 
appointed him Surrogate, Apr. 1772, in place of his father Robert Ogden, 2d, who resigned. 
His law office was located at Elizabeth, and he soon became noted as "the honest lawyer." 

His right arm having been disabled by a fall, he could neither wield a sword nor handle 
a musket, but he did good service as Quartermaster and Commissary during the Revolu- 
tion After the war he resumed his law practice and continued it until the state of his health 
obliged him to remove beyond the influence of the sea air. He inherited a farm in Sussex 
Co., N. J., from his father, and to this he retired for needed rest. He became a ruHng Elder 
in the church at Sparta and took up his full share of the labors and responsibilities connected

with church work. Having no ambition for political distinction, he declined public office, 
and except representing his county in the State Legislature on one or more occasions, he 
adhered to the maxim: "The post of honor is the private station." He died at Sparta 
just before completing his 8oth year.

General Matthias Ogdensm was born at Elizabethtown, N. J., where he became a 
tanner and currier. He was a man of marked intelligence, and of great natural ability. 
He early entered the Revolutionary contest, joining the Continental army at Cambridge in 
1775. His great zeal and resolution led. to rapid promotion and to being sent in the expedi- 
tion against Quebec, the latter part of the year 1775. He was with Arnold's party when 
they made the unfortunate assault of Dec. 31, and was carried from the field severely wounded 
in the shoulder. The same day Arnold sent an express to Gen. Washington in which he 
said, "the loss of my detachment before I left it, was about twenty men killed and wounded; 
among the latter is Major Ogden, who with Capt. Oswald, Capt. Burr and the other volun- 
teers behaved extremely well." 

Upon his return to the main army, he received the following commission of Colonel 
of the First Regiment in the New Jersey Line: 

"In Congress. 

"The Delegates of the United States of New-Hampshire, Massachusetts-Bay, 
Rhode-Island, Connecticut, New-York, New-Jersey, Pennsylvania, the Counties of New- 
Castle, Kent and Sussex on Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North-Carolina, South-Carolina, 
and Georgia, To .. Matthias Ogden, Esquire. 

" We, reposing especial Trust and Confidence in your Patriotism, Valour, Conduct and 
Fidelity, Do, by these Presents, constitute and appoint you to be Colonel of the First 
Regiment from Jersey, in the Army of the United States, for the Defence of American 

132 



^ixt^ (Beneratton 



Liberty, and for repelling every hostile Invasion thereof. You are therefore fully and dili- 
gently to discharge the Duty of Colonel by doing and performing all manner of Things 
thereunto belonging. And we do stricth'' charge and require all Officers and Soldiers under 
your Command, to be obedient to your Orders as Colonel. 

" And you are to observe and follow such Orders and Directions from Time to Time, 
as you shall receive from this or a future Congress of the United States, or Committee of 
Congress, for that Purpose appointed, or Commander in Chief for the Time being of the 
Army of the United States, or any other superior Officer, according to the Rules and Dis- 
cipline of War, in Pursuance of the Trust reposed in you. This Commission to continue in 
Force until revoked b}^ this or a future Congress. 

"Dated this day of December, Anno Domini 1776, . . twenty six 

"By Order of the Congress, 

/"John Hancock, President. 

In Aug., 1776, he wrote to Aaron Burr from Ticonderoga: "I shall have the honor to 
command the redoubt which I am now building with the regiment alone. It is situated on 
the right of the whole, by the waters edge. It is to mount two 18 pounders, two 12, and four 
9 pounders. In it I expect to do honor to New Jersey." 

"Salisbury Memorial" says: "In 1778, on Lee's retreat at Monmouth, Col. Ogden 
among others, commanding a regiment in Maxwell's Brigade, who was slowly following 
his retreating corps, with indignation so finely intimated in the Latin poet's metaphor: 
'vireque leonum vinciila recusantmn' with the fierce wrath of the lion disdaining his chains, 
when interrogated by Colonel Harrison as to the cause of the retreat, answered with great 
apparent exasperation, 'By G-d sir, they are flying from a shadow.' " 

Salisbury also says: "Family tradition states that on one occasion of Col. Matthias 
Ogden being taken prisoner by the British, at Elizabethtown, N. J., Nov, 5, 1780, he was 
removed to New York, and on arriving at headquarters was placed on parole, and invited 
to join the officers' mess. Shortly afterwards a new detachment arrived from England, 
and one of its officers at dinner asked the company to charge their glasses, and proposed 
the following toast: 'Damnation to the Rebels!' Col. Ogden had risen with the rest, and 
on hearing these words, flinging his glass and contents in the face of the British officer, 
he exclaimed: 'Damnation to him who dares to propose such a toast in my presence!' 
They were both immediately placed under arrest, and a challenge was sent, which the officer 
in command refused to allow Col. Ogden to accept. The mess apologized to Col. Ogden 
for the rudeness of their brother officer, and invited him to resume his place at their table. 
He was treated with the utmost courtesy thereafter." 

Washington set out from Philadelphia in Mar., 1782, to rejoin the army at Newburg 
on the Hudson. Irving's " Life of Washington " states: "He was at Morristown in the 
Jerseys on the 28th, when a bold project was submitted to him by Colonel Matthias Ogden, 
of the Jersey line. It was no less than the capture of Prince William Henry, son of the King 
of England, and afterward King William IV. The prince was serving as midshipman in 
the fleet of Admiral Digby, and was at that time with the admiral in New York, being 
an object of great attention to the army and the Tory part of the inhabitants. "The project 
of Colonel Ogden was to surprise the prince and the admiral at their quarters in the city 
and bring them off prisoners. He was to be aided by a captain, a subaltern, three sergeants, 
and thirty-six men. They were to embark from the Jersey shore on a rainy night in four 
whaleboats, well armed and rowed with muffled oars, and were to land in New York at half 
past nine, at a wharf not far from the quarters of the prince and admiral, which were in 
Hanover Square. Part of the men were to guard the boats, while Colonel Ogden with a 
strong party was to proceed to the house, force the doors if necessary, and capture the 
prince and admiral. In returning to the boats, a part of the men armed with guns and bay- 

133 



^]^c OgDcn family 



onets were to precede the prisoners, and part to follow at half gunshot distance, to give 
front to the enemy until all were embarked. 

"The plan was approved by Washington, but Colonel Ogden was charged to be 
careful that no insult or indignity be offered to the prince or admiral, should they be captured. 
They were, on the contrary, to be treated with all possible respect, and conveyed without 
delay to Congress. 

"How far an attempt was made to carry this plan into operation is not known. An 
exaggerated alarm seems to have been awakened by extravagant reports circulated in New 
York, as appears by the following citation from a paper or letter dated April 23d, and 
transmitted by Washington to Ogden. 

" 'Great seems to be their apprehensions here. About a fortnight ago a number of 
flat-boats were discovered by a sentinel from the bank of the river (Hudson), which are 
said to have been intended to fire the suburbs, and in the height of the conflagration to make 
a descent on the lower part of the city, and wrest from our embraces his excellency Sir H. 
Clinton, Prince William Henry, and several other illustrious personages — since which 
great precautions have been taken for the security of those gentlemen, by augmenting the 
guards, and to render their persons as little exposed as possible.' 

"These precautions probably disconcerted the project of Colonel Ogden, of which 
we find no other traces." 

After peace had been declared, Col. Ogden was honored by Congress with a commis- 
sion of Brigadier General. That body granting him leave of absence in 1783, General 
Ogden visited Europe, and while in France was presented to Louis XVI. by his friend 
General Lafayette. The French monarch, wishing to pay him a compliment, and titles 
or orders being out of the question with a republican officer, granted him the distin- 
guished honor of "le droit du tabouret.'" He died at the early age of thirty-six years, 
and was buried in the First Pres. churchyard, Elizabethtown, N. J. The horizontal slab 
over his tomb is thus inscribed: 

"Sacred to the memory of 

General Matthias Ogden 

who died on the 31^' day of March 

1791 

Aged XXXVI years 

In him were united those various virtues 

of the Soldier the Patriot and the Friend 

which endear men to society. 

Distress failed not to find relief in his 

bounty. 

Unfortunate merit a refuge in his 

generosity. 

If manly sense and dignity of mind 

If social virtues lib'ral and refin'd 

Nipp'd in their bloom deserve coinpassion's tears 

Then reader Weep, for Ogden's dust lies here 

Weed his grave clean ye men of genius 
for he was your kinsman 
Tread lightly on his ashes ye men of feeling 
for he was your brother"

Governor, or as he was usually called Col. Aaron Ogdensis was, like his father and 
brothers, a man of remarkable characteristics. Born in Elizabethtown, N. J., he graduated 
at Princeton College before he was seventeen ye^rs old, and in 1775 became tutor in Barber's 
Grammar School, where Alexander Hamilton,^ Gov. W" Livingston and Judge Brockholtz 
were pupils. 

In the outbreak of the Revolution, he and pupils volunteered in the Continental army. 
Aaron Ogden rose rapidly from lieutenant and captain to the rank of Brigade Major and 
Inspector, one of the most important offices in the army, now abolished, and served through- 
out the war. He gained a great reputation as an efficient and accomplished officer. In 
the winter of 1775-6 he was one of a party who boarded and captured a vessel called "Blue 
Mountain Valley" lying off Sandy Hook, and took her to Elizabeth Port. He was in the 
Battle of Brandywine in the fall of 1777; was assistant aide-de-camp to Lord Sterling in 
the Battle of Monmouth in the summer of 1778; had his horse shot from under him in the 
Battle of Springfield, N.J., in 1780. 

He at this time addressed a letter to his father, the Hon. Robert Ogden, which is still 
in the possession of one of his descendants. It reads as follows: 

"Jersey Camp near Springfield 

June 15th 1780. 
" Honored Sir, 

"Wishing to relieve that anxiety in you, which must fill every breast in the present 
posture of affairs, I set down to give you as much satisfaction as is in my power. 

" On the night of the 6th Inst, the enemy landed at Elizth Town, it is supposed, with 
about 5000 troops, including three hundred Dragoons & a large train of artillery — their 
advance reached Connecticut farms soon after Day break, where they were opposed by 
some small parties of the Jersey Brigade & a few militia — they did not pass the defile till 
after they had received reinforcements from Town — much scirmishing happened during 
the day, in which almost the whole of Brigade were at different times engaged assisted with 
a considerable body of militia, who on this occasion merit much praise & have, I think, 
acquired to themselves lasting honor. Our loss in the Brigade is not very considerable, 
one Ensign killed, 3 wounded, 7 privates killed & 20 wounded. The enemy suffered much, 
several principal officers have been killed & wounded, — from the dead found after the 
action & from the accounts received from Inhabitants where their wounded were dressed, 
their loss in killed, wounded & taken prisoners can not be less than two hundred — I speak 
within bounds in my opinion — the difference between our loss and theirs may perhaps 
appear incredible, but let it be considered that they were harrassed by small parties on 
every side in such a manner that it was out of their power to make retaliation. That they 
were thoroughly sick of their situation appears evident from the silence & precipitancy of 

135

their retreat, which they performed under cover of the night & a heavy shower of rain — 
it was not known in our camp untill the next morning. — Genl Hand, with two BattaHons 
of Continental troops & a body of militia, fell on their rear a little below where Ebenezer 
Pine lived — he charged them with vigour, but superior force soon obliged him to retire — 
his loss was trifling. 

"Since that time nothing very material has happened — the advance of the enemy are 
as far up as the Town bridge the wooden bridge by Potters — their main body between the 
forks of the road & the ferries. — Our light parties do them very little injury in their present 
position. — 

"To develope the object of the enemy in this excursion seems almost impossible — per- 
haps they may have been brought to believe that our small army would receive but little 
assistance from the militia — They may possibly suppose that our magazines of provisions 
are so small as not to be able to subsist a large body of men together but for a short time — I 
hope that such exertions will be made, as may disappoint our enemies in their expectations, 
and that hereafter our Continental regiments may be put into such a situation as may enable 
Genl Washington to make sufficient opposition without the aid of the militia, whose absence 
from their farms must be attended with bad consequence to agriculture on which our 
support depends. — 

"Had every State in the Union compleated their Batallions, which might have easily 
been done — this distress would not probably have come upon us. — On the weakness of our 
army our enemies build their hopes — they say that those few can not long hold together, — 
and that they must be more than men, who will fight, without pay, clothes or food. — A few 
vigorous exertions on our side might destroy these expectations, & make them wish to be 
at peace with us — what can more speedily bring our foes to terms, than our being prepared 
for war? — Oh! that every one would exert his power & influence to give vigour to our 
operations this campaign — & peace may again be established. I wish that matters of 
trifling importance might be dismissed & that a spirit of unanimity might prevail.

" Trenton." 

At the siege of Yorktown he and his company stormed the left redoubt of the British, 
for which he received the approbation of Gen. Washington. Hearing the latter say he wanted 
the traitor Benedict Arnold taken alive. Major Aaron Ogden with two or three other 
desperate spirits attempted his capture. All were killed in the attempt except Major 
Ogden, and he was badly wounded. 

In Irving's " Life of Washington " occurs the following : " Capt. Aaron Ogden, a worthy 
officer of the New Jersey line, was selected by Washington" to convey a letter from the 
captive Major Andr6 and one from himself to Sir Henry Clinton at Paulus Hook, relative 
to negotiations concerning Andr6 and Arnold. In Andre's dispatch he aims to assure Sir 
Henry of the latter's innocence in connection with his (Andre's) misfortune. Washington's 
dispatch apprises Clinton that Andre was convicted by his board of general officers for 
abusing the flag of truce, and that he was properly condemned as a spy. Capt. Ogden was 
requested by Washington to first call upon Lafayette, who suggested that he incidentally 
mention an exchange of Andr(S for Arnold. This Ogden did to the commanding officer 
at Paulus Hook, who conveyed the proposition to Clinton, but it was promptly rejected

as incompatible with honor and mihtary discipline. All negotiations having failed, Major 
Andr^ was executed on the gibbet Oct. 2, 1780. 

After the war, Col. Ogden returned to Elizabethtown, studied law with his brother 
Roberts 10 in 1783, and was licensed as an attorney a year later, Sept. 1784, notwithstanding 
the rule requiring applicants to pursue a course of several years' study. He became a very 
successful counsellor in Elizabethtown and had several cases in the Supreme Court from 
the April term, 1790, to three years later. In 1794 he was called to the rank of sergeant- 
at-law. In 1797, during the short war with France, he was colonel of the 15th Reg't, and 
was afterward known as Col. Ogden. 

He possessed some of the very best characteristics of a good lawyer and would 
undoubtedly have risen to a higher rank than he actually did, but being an ardent Federalist, 
he was led into the political arena. In Feb., 1801, h e was elected U. S. Senator to fill the 
unexpired term of Senator Schureman, and served two years. He was for several years 
Clerk of Essex Co. In 1803 he was elected a trustee of Princeton College, which institution 
conferred the degree of LL.D. upon him in 18 16. 

In 181 2 he was elected by the Legislature to the office of Governor, and served one 
year. During his term he was appointed Major General in the U. S. army by President 
Madison, but the Senate declined to confirm the appointment. Later he organized a body 
of volunteers for the defense of New York. About this time he retired from the law and 
engaged in steainboat navigation, by which he lost his fortune. "The Judicial and Civil 
History of New Jersey " gives this account : "The Legislature of N. Y. had granted the exclu- 
sive right to Livingston and Fulton to navigate the waters of that state with steam vessels, 
for a term of years. Col. Ogden in connection with Daniel Dodd, started a line of steam- 
boats between Elizabethtown and New York. In retaliation, the Legislature of New Jersey 
passed a statute granting exclusive privileges to Ogden and Dodd. An attempt was made 
to repeal the New Jersey statute and the parties appeared with their counsel before a com- 
mittee and were heard. Livingston was represented by Thomas Addis Emmet, and Ogden 
and Dodd, by Samuel L. Southard and Joseph Hopkinson. The result was that the New 
Jersey law was repealed. Violent disputes originated in the courts and both Legislatures 
were appealed to. During these controversies Thomas Gibbons appeared on the stage, 
in opposition to Ogden and Dodd. He was a lawyer of consummate ability, a man of large 
research, of untiring energy, of an iron will and capable of employing means to attain an 
end which some honest men thought questionable. Suit ^.fter suit was brought. 
Col. Ogden was dogged and persevering in his attempts to secure his rights. No aspersion 
could be justly made against his character; that remained untarnished; but, in the end, 
he was defeated, after a most harassing conflict. He lost his fortune, his wife died, and he 
never recovered the position which he formerly occupied." 

In 1829 he moved to Jersey City. He was that year arrested for debt in New York, 
and "refusing the proffered aid of his friends, remained in confinement for several months, 
being finally released by an act of the Legislature providing that no Revolutionary officer 
or soldier should be imprisoned for debt. The law was so framed as to cover the case of 
Col. Ogden, and he was released. He died in 1839. His last days were solaced by his ap- 
pointment to the office of Collector of Customs of Jersey City, created especially for him 
by act of Congress. 

He was a founder of the Society of the Cincinnati, — became president of the State 
Society in 1824, and vice-president of the General Society in 1825. He was made presi- 
dent in 1829, and served until his death.

2 m. above Franklin Furnace, and he brought his ore from the Ogden mine upon the 
mountain. He died at the Haines house, in Hamburg, N. J., while on a visit to Mr. Sharp, 
Mar. 31, 1805. His wife died soon after, and his family of young children were left to the

"Hardyston Memorial" says of him: "He was scarcely more than a 
lad when he received a midshipman's warrant in the Navy, in which he 
continued till his death, having risen to the rank of Capt. He cruised in 
every quarter of the globe and was sent on many important expeditions. 
He served in the ' Essex, ' commanded by Capt. David Porter, when she 
captured the British warship 'Alert,' the first American success of the war 
and whose flag was the first taken from the enemy. 

" He was with the Essex when vessel and crew were captured off Val- 
paraiso and while on the way north as prisoner of war was one of those who 
with Capt. Porter escaped in the long boat and finally landed on Long Island 
shore. In mature years he was Naval Commander in New York Harbor, 
and on his 'receiving ship,' the North Carolina, received the visits of many 
noted persons, both Americans and foreigners. 

" He was generous and impulsive, and once dove into the sea to save 
a seaman who had accidentally fallen overboard. He never married, and 
died in New York City." 

In his will made Aug. 20, 1855, and proved Nov. 17, i860, he left to his 
brother Thomas Anderson Ogden^u a farm in Sussex Co., one in Bergen Co.. 
one near Dover, Morris Co., and another in Sparta, Sussex Co. He also gave 
$500 to the Prot. Epis. Soc'y for destitute seamen, in New York City.

He graduated at Princeton College in 182 1. "From 1839 to 1865, he 
was identified with the Carmel church, Mississippi, as Chaplain to the slaves 
on several plantations within its bounds; was a native of Sussex Co., N.J. 
He studied theology at Princeton and Andover; was ordained by the Pres- 
bytery of Abingdon, Va., in 1829, and served several churches in Virginia 
as supply till 1835, when he became an agent of the Presbyterian Board of 
Education. In this capacity he visited Mississippi, where, soon after, he 
accepted the invitation extended to him by prominent planters in the Second 
Creek neighborhood to undertake the religious instruction of the negroes. In 
this work, which he loved, he spent the remainder of his active life. In 1865, 
broken down in health, depressed by the desertion of the colored people 
among whom he had so long labored, he returned to the North, and closed 
his life among his surviving relations in New Jersey. He was a scholar, a 
catechist and expositor of a high order; an oracle in ecclesiastical law; a 
valuable counsellor in Church courts; a genial companion and an affectionate 
friend." — South-western Presbyterian, Mar. 17, 1892. He was buried in the

and graduated at Yale College in 1792. While pursuing the study of law, 
in Georgia, he resided with the widow of General Greene, and it was at this 
time that he invented the cotton gin, a machine for separating the seed from 
the cotton. This invention has been of incalculable advantage to the south- 
ern planters: what before was performed at an immense sacrifice of time 
and labor, is now effected almost instantaneously. The favorable condition 
of internal trade in the southern section of the states, has in many respects 
been more promoted by the genius of Whitney, than by the labors of Fulton.

But he was not allowed to enjoy his own in peace: he suffered much in 
defending his rights from the encroachments of the envious or designing. In 
1798 he contracted with the United States to furnish, for $134,000, ten 
thousand stand of arms, which he completed in ten years. He next con- 
tracted for fifteen thousand stand of arms. 

"He died Jan. 8, 1825, aged 59. . . He was a man of unflinching

"The Old Merchants of New York City" chronicles the following data: "There are 
many honored mercantile names among the citizens of different periods, but none stand 
higher than that of 'Ogden.' Of these Samuel Gouverneur Ogden stood among those in 
the front rank. He was one of the New Jersey Ogdens, whose father was a clergyman, of 
Newark. 

"He served the usual apprenticeship, or clerkship, in order to thoroughly understand 
the mercantile business, with the then (1795) great commercial firm of Gouverneur & 
Kemble, No. 94 Front street. Five years later, in 1800, Samuel G. Ogden went into business 
on his own account at 119 Pearl street. For some years he did an extensive shipping business, 
and owned several vessels, viz. the ' Empire, ' the ' Indostan, ' the ' Diana, ' and the ' Leander.' 

"About this time he married Miss Lewis, a daughter of Francis Lewis, and grand- 
daughter of the celebrated Francis Lewis, the worthy old merchant who signed the Declara- 
tion of Independence." 

Mr. Ogden's vessels were armed with 15 guns each, as was the custom for protection 
from pirates. When his oldest son Samuel was born, the event was heralded by a salute of 
60 guns from his merchant ships. 

In 1806, General Miranda, a native of Caracas, S. A., having been many years in the 
service of Spain, conceived the idea of freeing his native country from the Spanish yoke, 
and after visiting Europe, came to the United States to enlist the sympathies of this govern- 
ment. He proceeded to Washington, but not gaining more than the sympathy of Pres. 
Jefferson and Mr. Madison, Sec'y of State, Gen. Miranda went to New York and succeeded 
in securing the help of Samuel Gouverneur Ogden, and his friend and associate, Col.

W. G. Smith, son-in-law of the elder John Adams. Mr. Ogden immediately fitted up the 
"Leander" with i8 guns and all other necessary military equipments at his own expense, 
and dispatched her in company with the "Bee" and "Bacchus," with an entire force of 
about 200 men. It is said that Col. Smith confided the secrecies of the expedition to Aaron 
Burr, who at once informed the Spanish minister at Washington. Fast sailing vessels were 
at once dispatched to Caracas, and the Spanish government readily ended the expedition 
in complete failure. Some of the men were imprisoned, others hung, and Gen. Miranda was 
himself captured and died in prison at Cadiz. Mr. Ogden suffered a financial loss of about 
$200,000, but rejoiced that he had struck the first blow for the freedom of South America. 
Bolivar, "the Dehverer," acknowledged this, and expressed a readiness to compensate Mr. 
Ogden for his heavy losses. Messrs. Ogden and Smith were both prosecuted by the Govern- 
ment for having fitted out an expedition against a power in amity with the United States. 
The trial in New York City was a highly interesting one. Thomas Addis Emmet, Cadwal- 
lader D. Colden, Joseph Ogden Hoffman, and Richard Harrison, were their counsel. The 
defendants were honorably acquitted. 

Mr. Ogden continued in business in New York with unimpaired credit. He Hved at 
No. 9 Hudson street until 18 15, when he went to France and established himself in com- 
mercial business at Bordeaux, doing a large business, and forming many valuable commercial 
connections. In 1825 he returned to New York, and became agent for several large business 
houses in France. His residence was at 41 Warren street, where he entertained in magnifi- 
cent style. He died at his country home in Astoria, L. I., surrounded by his gentle wife, 
his children and grandchildren, in his 83d year. 

Julia Fairlie, 2d wife of Samuel Gouverneur Ogden4o6^ was dau. of Major Fairlie, 
and gr. dau. of Chief Justice Robert Yates. The latter was born in Schenectady, N.Y., 
Jan. 27, 1738. He received a classical education in New York City, and studied law with 
Wm. Livingston, Esq. He settled in Albany and was known as "the honest lawyer." He 
issued several essays on the rights and liberties of his country. He was a member of the 
Provincial Congress, and chairman of committee on military organization. In 1777 he 
framed the first Constitijtion of New York state, and was that year made Judge of Supreme 
Court. He held intirn^te relations with John Jay, Benj. Franklin, Chancellor Livingston, 
Gen. Philip Schuyler and Alexander Hamilton. 

After the Revolutionary war Judge Yates was chosen with Gen. Hamilton and Chan- 
cellor Lansing to represent his state in the convention that framed the Constitution of the 
United States, and was a member of the state convention that ratified it. In 1790 he was 
appointed Chief Justice of New York. He twice ran for Governor, the second time receiv- 
ing a majority of votes, but was not seated because of inaccurate returns. He retired from 
the bench in 1798 by constitutional limit, having been its ornament and pride for 21 years. 
The legislature then appointed him commissioner to settle disputed land titles, which office 
he held till near his death, which occurred Sept. 9, 1801, finishing his remarkable career 
"full of years and full of honors." 

Major James Fairlie, father of Julia (Fairlie) Ogden, was a distinguished soldier 
of the Revolutionary war. He entered the army in 1776 when only 19 years old, and from 
1778 was aide to Baron Steuben till the close of the war. Full of courage, but tender-hearted, 
he said his most painful duty was to obey Gen. Washington's order to be present at the 
execution of the unfortunate Major Andre. Count Pulaski, in writing to Benj. Franklin, 
said: "Speaking of the officers, there are some elegant young men among them, — Major 
Fairlie I would mention as one. He is quite young, only twenty-one, but for sagacity, 
wit, and knowledge of his profession, he has no superior: playful and satirical, or instructive, 
as he varies from one subject to another. I have taken much delight in his society, and think 
he has given me more instruction in pronouncing the English language than any other 
officer I have met with."

Major Fairlie distinguished himself in the battle of Monmouth, and remained with 
the army to the close of the war. He lived several years with Baron Steuben at his head- 
quarters at Fishkill, and afterward at his log palace (which he facetiously called "The 
Louvre") in Steuben Co., N.Y. He assisted in founding the Cincinnati Society and, in 1784, 
was its second Secretary. He married Maria Yates, dau. of Chief Justice Robert Yates of 
Albany. He was twice member of the Assembly, Presidential Elector, Alderman, and dele- 
gate to frame the new Constitution of New York in 182 1. President Madison offered him the 
position of Adjutant General during the War of 181 2, which he declined. Major Fairlie 
died at his home, 41 Cortlandt street. New York City, aged 73 years, and was buried with 
military honors, attended by the Cincinnati and the civic societies.

Anna Cora (Ogden, Mowatt) Ritchie was married before 16 years of 
age to James Mowatt, a cultured young lawyer of New York City, who 
took up residence in a tine old Revohitionary house at Flatbush, L. I., 
called "Melrose." After 7 years of ideal happiness, Mr. Mowatt's eye- 
sight began to fail, and he met with serious pecuniary losses. His wife 
having given early evidence of strong literary and dramatic talent, her 
devoted and heroic spirit prompted her to go on the stage for their mutual 
benefit. In 1841 she gave public readings, and her signal success led to 
preparation for dramatic effort. Her family strenuously objected to this, 
but her blameless life finally conquered their prejudices. She made her 
d^but at the Park Theatre as "Pauline" in "The Lady of Lyons." Her 
dramatic life developed her character and added new graces, and she gained 
laurels both at home and abroad. She wrote the play called "Fashion," 
which was performed with great success at the Park Theatre. Mr. Laurence 
Hutton gives Mrs. Mowatt the honor of having written the first American 
play. Mr. Mowatt died in London in 1849, ^"d in obedience to his dying 
request, she wrote the "Autobiography of an Actress," in which her life 
story is charmingly told. 

In 1854, having spent eight years on the stage, she retired, and mar- 
ried Mr. William Fouche Ritchie, editor of the Richmond Inquirer. 
They made their home in a little vine-covered cottage in Richmond, Va.,

where Mrs. Mowatt-Ritchie was surrounded by a large circle of cultured 
friends. She became Vice President and an active helper in the Mt. Vernon 
Association. In i860 Mrs. Ritchie accompanied an invahd sister to Paris, 
where her husband joined her a few months later. The Civil War caused 
Mr. Ritchie to return to Virginia in the interests of his business, but Mrs. 
Ritchie's impaired health forbade an ocean voyage. Despite ill health, she 
again took up her pen and contributed to the papers and magazines. She 
wrote three plays: "Fashion," "Armand, " and "Gulzara." Among her 
stories were "Mimic Life," "Twin Roses," "Fairy-Fingers," "The Mute 
Singer, " and "The Clergyman's Wife." She also wrote numerous essays and 
short poems. Surrounded by loving friends in her little villa at Twickenham, 
near London, she died in 1870, and was buried at Kensal Green beside the 
husband of her youth, Mr. Mowatt.

Grace Priscilla Ogden "ss belongs to the Colonial Dames, Daughters 
American Revolution, Daughters of Cincinnati, and has read several bio- 
graphical papers of merit before these societies. 

Dr. Thomas Rainey is of Scotch-English ancestry. He was the oldest 
of 15 children by James Glen Rainey and Sophia Hendricks, of Yancey- 
ville, N. C. He received his education in the Academy in Yanceyville, 
after which he went to Missouri and for a time engaged in school teaching. 
He became interested in scientific subjects, and gave his time for some 
years to lecturing along these lines in the Western States. 

In 1847 he published " Rainey's Improved Abacus," a treatise on 
arithmetic and geometry, by cancellation, which had an extensive sale. He 
also established the Ohio Teacher and later the Western Review. He 
took part in the "Association for the Advancement of Education" held 
at Northampton, Mass., in 1850, also in the "American Association for the 
Advancement of Science," held at New Haven the same year, and was its 
local Secretary. 

Entering politics, Dr. Rainey was a moving spirit in the Whig con- 
vention at Baltimore, that nominated General Scott for the presidency. 
He established the Cincinnati Daily Republican which became the first 
advocate for the organization of the Republican party. In 1853 his scientific 
friends urged him to go to South America, and had the U. S. Government 
appoint him Consul to Bolivia; his nomination was confirmed by the Senate, 
but he resigned. His friend, Hon. Jas. C. Dobbin, Sec'y of the Navy, urged 
him to drop literature, politics, and science, and go into steam in Brazil. 
In June, 1854, he set sail for the Amazon, where he spent much time in 

157 



Cl^e €)gDcn family 



exploring the Para Valley. In 1855 he went to Rio de Janeiro, intending 
to make Brazil his future home, and this the Doctor always considered 
the great mistake of his life, "wasting" (as he termed it) "twenty 
years." He built and operated a fleet of steamers on the bay of Rio 
de Janeiro, which he controlled for some 14 years. Circumstances 
beyond his control, however, brought him financial loss and great disap- 
pointment, where success had seemed certain. 

In 1856, Pres. Buchanan appointed Dr. Rainey to the mission of 
Brazil, which he accepted, but complications arose, and he was given the 
mission to Portugal instead, which he declined. But while in Europe he 
was again appointed to Brazil, the Senate confirmed the appointment, and 
Pres. Buchanan urged him to accept it, but he resigned. 

The great financial crisis of 1857, together with the war clouds which 
began to dim the horizon, made investors wary, and brought business of 
all kinds to a stand. In the end Dr. Rainey, like many others, became 
the victim of other men less scrupulous. 

Early in 1874 he returned to New York, and in June of that year mar- 
ried Miss Grace Priscilla Ogdenii56. Soon after his marriage he undertook 
what proved to be his most unsuccessful venture, — that of building a bridge 
across the East River at Randall's Island. He spent many years and 
many thousands of dollars in the attempt to get the necessary legislation 
accomplished. The enterprise had warm friends, but it also had powerful 
opponents, and in the end the latter prevailed. 

Dr. Rainey, with his kindly disposition and genial manner, and his 
accomplished wife, now live a retired life in New York City.

Hedden's select school in Newark. She was a woman of devout piety, "a mother in Israel," 
and deeply loved and respected by all who knew her. {See portrait, p. 98.) 

Isaac Canfield, her husband, was of Morristown, N. J., and had been an active par- 
ticipant in the struggle for freedom, which ended but a short time before their marriage. 
He was a farmer and also kept a country store at the junction of the roads leading to Mor- 
ristown, Dover, Whippany and Parsippany, and since called Malapardis. He later was a 
merchant in Morristown, and was appointed Major of the Morris Squadron, holding the 
commission from Dec. 2, 1807, to Feb. 3, 181 2. He is said to have introduced the Virginia 
crab-apple into Morris county. Both he and wife are buried at Morristown, N. J. All 
their children were born at Morris Plains, except the youngest, who was born at Morristown.

When he became superannuated, he removed to Springs Creek, near Curran, 
Sangamon Co., 111., where he purchased eighty acres of land for farming and 
the cultivation of small fruits. He introduced some of the best varieties 
of fruit from New Jersey, particularly strawberries. He was largely instru- 
mental in the introduction of the Early Rose potato, paying $48.00 per 
barrel for the seed, though he sold the increase at the market price of ordi- 
nary varieties, it ever being his desire to serve his fellow man. His last years 
were spent at Ocean City, N. J., and his remains were buried at Bargain- 
town, N. J.

Lafayette, out of his great regard for the father, solicited and obtained permission to adopt 
and educate him, and upon his return to France in 1782 took his young charge with him 
as one of the family. He returned to America in 1791, and settled in Philadelphia where 
his guardian Mr. Boudinot was living. Here in 1801 he married his first wife, Louise, who 
died within a year, leaving an infant daughter. On June 25, 1801, he was appointed con-

York, being made an Elder in 181 1. His name was connected with almost every good object 
of the day. He was one of the most active and influential founders of the American Bible 
Society, and until his death its General Agent. In 1816 he gave to this society $10,000. 
In Mar. 181 6 he founded the Chrisiian Herald, the first five volumes of which he edited

Rev. Robert Finley was of Scotch ancestry. His father, James Finley, came from 
Glasgow to Princeton, N. J., in 1763, at the invitation of Dr. Witherspoon, a personal 
friend. Here Robert was born in 1772. He studied under Dr. Ashbel Green, and graduated 
from Princeton in 1788, at the age of 16. He taught school for several years in Charleston, 
S. C. and then decided to study for the ministry. Soon after receiving license to preach, he 
received a call from the Presbyterian Church at Basking Ridge, N. J., and this was his only 
charge. In 181 7 he received a call to the presidency of Athens College, Georgia. He 
accepted the call, though at great cost in comfort and convenience to himself and family; a 
two weeks' voyage from New York to Savannah, and then a 200-mile drive over rough roads,

taking fifteen days more. But they found kind people to welcome them, and gradually 
made a new home. The climate, together with the arduous labors in bringing the affairs 
of the college from a low ebb to a prosperous condition, proved too much for him, and his 
illness resulted in his death near the close of the year, dying Nov. 3, 181 7. 

After his death, the trustees volunteered to educate his eldest son James, free of charge. 
They also gave Mrs. Finley two valuable tracts of land in Athens. She died in Lebanon, 111., 
in Sept., 1844, at the home of one of her children. {See portrait, p. 98.)

All the daughters of the family were gifted women, the most of them noteworthy, and 

carried out the spirit of the Caldwell motto: "Niti Facere Experiri" (endeavor, perform, 

prove).

Reuben Van Pelt was an Elder in the First Presbyterian Church, of 

Elizabethtown, N. J. 

They had 7 children. 
After the death of his first wife, Reuben Van Pelt married her youngest

pace to a walk, every band of music stops playing, and every person in pass- 
ing bares his head. 

It is worthy of mention that Elizabeth {Vredejtburgh) Freeman's'^" 
grandfather, father, and husband, were all clergymen. Her grandfather, 
the Rev. James Caldwell, pastor of the First Pres. Church of Elizabethtown, 
N. J., and an ardent patriot and chaplain of the Revolutionary War, was 
known as "the soldier's parson." His house and church were burned by the

Tories, and himself was shot and killed at Elizabethtown Point. His wife, 
Hannah (Ogden) Caldwell 142, who had taken refuge at Connecticut Farms 
(now Union, N. J.), was shot by a British soldier while praying with her 
children. This tragic history ended with the shooting of Mrs. Freeman 
and her devoted husband by the Sepoys.

son, b. ■; d. Apr. 26, 1866. 

Upon the death of her parents, Maria Caldwell433 was adopted by Mrs. Garret Noel 
of Elizabethtown, N. J., a steadfast friend of the Caldwell family. Her married life was 
mostly spent in New York City, where her husband was a merchant, senior member of the 
firm of "Robertson & Kelso." Mr. Robertson failed in business in 1823, and secured 
employment in the New York Custom House, a position he held for many years. They 
attended the Scotch Presbyterian Church, where Mr. Robertson's father was a Deacon, 
but it is believed they were members of old Cedar Street Church. 

Mrs. Noel's only daughter Eleanor married Rev. Walter Monteith, and being early 
made a widow, and her mother being dead, she came to live with Mrs. Robertson433, in whose 
home she was a welcome and beloved member of the family till her death in 1831, thus 
repaying the noble debt of gratitude. {See portrait, p. 98.)

Binghamton, Apr. 10, 1848. 

"Capt. David Ogden447 came to Genoa [Cayuga Co., N. Y.] from Nanticoke, near 
Binghamton, in 1797. His wife came on horseback, carrying an infant in her arms. For 
nearly 40 years he was the 'middleman' of this section, dealing largely in grain, stock, pork 
and beef. For many years he was largely engaged in merchandise. After the completion 
of the Erie Canal (an enterprise which he promoted with money and influence) he was 
actively interested in boating; he was also the owner of 300 acres of land and was conse- 
quently a large farmer. In addition to this he at one time kept a public house, and was 
postmaster for niany years. Many branches of his business were conducted under unfavor- 
able circumstances; the country was new; the channels of trade were unformed, — the 
principal markets (Quebec, New York and Baltimore) were not only distant, but difficult 
of access. Railroads were unknown, the Erie Canal was not completed until 1825, and 
postal communication was slow and uncertain. Travel required much time and was often 
attended with danger. Under these circumstances business like his, so extensive and varied, 
demanded great executive ability and indomitable energy; qualities which he possessed 
in a remarkable degree. The town of Genoa owes much to the active life and public spirit 
of Capt. David Ogden."

Mary (Ogden) Kellogg'^t? was deeply interested in her family history, 
and took unflagging interest in tracing her ancestry back to Good Old John 
Ogden of Elizabethtown, N. J. She labored under the disadvantage of poor 
eyesight, and finally became blind. However, she continued her correspond- 
ence and searches and dictated many letters, keeping up the work to the end 
of her life. Her last letters were written in the effort to know definitely the 
link back of her grandfather No. 147, Joseph Ogden. She had been misled 
by the first Ogden chart, prepared by Francis Barber Ogden, some years ago, 
who had her grandfather grouped with the children of No. 87, David Ogden 
and Hannah Woodruff. This was found to be incorrect, and other children 
assigned to David having been proved to belong to No. 46, John Ogden and 
Hannah Sayer, Joseph was naturally placed with them. He without doubt 
belongs to the Ogdens of Elizabethtown, and the evidence at hand makes 
him the youngest child of No. 46, Judge John Ogden. 

Mary (Ogden) Kellogg'^?? was an estimable Christian woman. Amid 
her great afflictions and deprivations, her sufferings and loss of sight bitt 
developed her womanly virtues, and she patiently and faithfully pursued 
her duties to the end, having been an inspiration and benediction to all who 
knew her.

village lying in the town of Stow. He was much respected in northern Ohio, and like his 
brother Seth was very conscientious, never pursuing the wrong when he knew the right. 
Upon reading Rev. George B. Cheever's tract entitled 'The Deacon's Distillery' he at once 
turned his distillery into a sheep pen. He is said to have been the first settler of Stow, O."

to Whitesboro, N. Y., where he was highly esteemed. Was a corporate member of the 
American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions and a member of the corporation

A New Haven paper pays the following tribute to his worth: "Mr. 
Ogden was both gifted as a preacher and devoted to his parish work. His 
remarkable social nature and vivacious conversational powers won him 
many friends, and his generous disposition and untiring acts of kindness for 
others made those friendships lasting."

property in Newark, N. J., and flee to England in 1783, all his family became subjects of 
Great Britain. After the close of the war, he was appointed Judge of the Admiralty at 
Quebec by King George III. in 1788, and at once proceeded to his seat of office. 

His son, Charles Richard Ogden479, was born in Quebec, Canada, Feb. 6, 1791, and 
was educated by the Rev. Mr. Doty of Three Rivers, and Mr. Shakel of Montreal, where 
he studied law. In 181 2 he was called to the bar and began his practice at Three Rivers. 
Subsequently he returned to Montreal and formed a partnership with Mr. Buchanan of that 
city. The firm became eminent and enjoyed a large and lucrative practice. In 181 5, he 
was elected member of Assembly for the town of Three Rivers, and continued to represent 
that constituency for seven successive Parliaments, and until advised by Lord Aylmer 
that, in the opinion of the Colonial Office, "it would be better that the public officers of 
the Province should exercise ' a cautious abstinence ' from the great political questions of 
the day." Upon this hint, Mr. Ogden, being H. M. Attorney-General, resigned his seat in 
the Assembly and retired from political life, as he supposed, for ever. 

The following facts are gleaned from a biographical sketch of his life published in a 
Quebec newspaper. "In 181 5 he had received a silk gown from Sir Gordon Drummond, 
and in 181 8, the Duke of Richmond had appointed him to act as H. M. Attorney-General 
for the District of Three Rivers. In 1823, Lord Dalhousie, in very flattering terms, recom- 
mended him for the office of Solicitor-General, and His Majesty was pleased to confer that 
office upon him, accordingly. In 1833, he was appointed Attornej'-General for Lower 
Canada by King William IV. and was reappointed to that office by Queen Victoria on her 
accession to the throne. From the date of his appointment, until the year 1837, Mr. Ogden 
resided in Quebec; but in that year the breaking out of the rebellion made it his duty to 
proceed to Montreal, where he continued to reside until the union of the Provinces in 1841. 
In 1838 the Constitution of Lower Canada was suspended by Act of the Imperial Parlia- 
ment, and the special Council for the affairs of that Province was created. As Attorney- 
General, and as a leading member of that Council, Mr. Ogden, who had in the meantime 
declined to accept the office of Chief Justice of the district of Montreal, offered him by the 
Earl of Durham, bore necessarily a large part in conducting the Government of the country, 
under Sir John Colborne (afterwards Lord Seaton), the Earl of Durham and Mr. Poulett 
Thomson, afterwards Lord Sydenham, and in the measures and proceedings necessary to 
bring into operation the Act for the Union of the Canadas, and to carry out its provisions, 
and he officially countersigned the proclamation by which the two Provinces were made one 
on Feb. 10, 1841, the first anniversary of Her Majesty's wedding day. The opinions held 
at the Colonial Office had by this tiine undergone a remarkable change, and instead of being 
enjoined a 'cautious abstinence' from politics, Mr. Ogden was informed by Lord Sydenham, 
that he was expected to take a most active part in them, to obtain a seat in the Legislative 
Assembly, and to form part of the Canadian Ministry; that his emoluments were to be 
reduced, and that he would have to reside at Kingston, the new seat of Government; and 
he was possibly not without a presentiment that his tenure of office might depend on the 
will of a parliamentary majority. These were not the terms upon which he had accepted 
office; they were hard, and he remonstrated against them; but he was told that H. M. 
Government held this change to be necessary to the success of the policy they had adopted, 
and he submitted, and was again returned by his old friends the electors of Three Rivers. 
He and his colleagues conducted the Government through the first session of the Parlia- 
ment of United Canada, and brought that session to a successful close, introducing and 
carrying many important and useful measures. The untimely death of Lord Sydenham 
turned the administration of the Government upon Sir Richard Jackson, the Commander 
of H. M. Forces, from whom, after having made all the arrangements necessary for carrying 
out the legislation of the session, Mr. Ogden obtained leave of absence for six months, sub- 
sequently extended to a year, in order to make the voyage to Europe for the recovery of 



178 



^etentl^ d^eneration 



his health, which had suffered severely from the great labors and anxiety to which he had 
for several years been subjected. On his return, before his leave of absence had expired, 
he found that, during that absence, he and the ministry of which he formed part had been 
removed from office by Sir Charles Bagot, and that Mr. Lafontaine and his friends held the 
reins of Government. He remonstrated, represented that he had accepted the appointment 
of Attorney-General when the tenure of that office was virtually during good behavior, 
and claimed redress, but in vain. Sir Charles sent a message to the Legislative Assembly, 
recommending him for a super-annuation allowance of ;£62 5 per annum; but no motion 
was made to refer the message to the Committee of Supply, until the day next before that 
fixed for the prorogation, when it was met by an amendment that it should be considered 
in the next session, which, according to parliamentary usage, it could not be; and it was 
never renewed. Mr. Ogden felt that as a public man his connection with the Province was 
at an end. He retired to England and appealed to the Imperial Government, but was told 
that his claim was against that of Canada. His services were fully acknowledged and he 
was offered several colonial appointments of more or less value, which he declined; but 
having been in most flattering manner called to the English Bar, he eventually accepted 
the Attorney-Generalship of the Isle of Man, and was afterwards, upon the passing of the 
new Probate Act in 1857, appointed to the office of District Registrar at Liverpool, and held 
both these appointments to the time of his decease. 

"As a public officer Mr. Ogden performed his duties, often of the most arduous and 
trying nature, ably, fearlessly and impartially; and that he fulfilled them to the satisfaction 
of his Sovereign and her advisers is manifest from the important offices successively con- 
ferred on him, and the high trust reposed in him and never disappointed. In the conduct 
of cases before the courts of criminal jurisdiction he was singularly successful, and this 
mainly because, while he was earnest in enforcing the law, he never forgot that justice should 
be administered in mercy. As a member of the Assembly of Lower Canada he was bold and 
uncompromising in his advocacy of what he believed to be the right, speaking plainly what 
he thought in the face of overwhelming majorities, respected and even liked by his bitterest 
political opponent for his manliness and honesty, his frankness and good temper. On the 
dark and troublesome days and deplorable events between 1837 and 1841, and Mr. Ogden's 
relations to them, it is unnecessary to comment here; a quarter of a century has since passed 
away, and we may leave them to the historian ; he had a most difficult and painful duty to 
perform, and we believe few could or would have performed it better. Whatever differences 
of opinion may have existed as to the policy which he was called upon to carry out, one thing 
at least is beyond a doubt — in the readjustment of affairs after the storm was passed, he 
exerted himself strenuously to secure just rights to all classes of Her Majesty's subjects. 

"In private life Mr. Ogden was an amiable and estimable man, of a genial and fun-loving 
temperament, fond of frolic and happy at a joke. Kind and liberal to all under him or about 
him, and never forgetting a friend or a service rendered, he had that power most essential 
to a public man, and possessed most remarkably by the greatest, of distinguishing those 
able to do good service and attaching them firmly and affectionately to him. 

"He died as he had lived, a sincere and pious member of the Church of England, in 
which he had been brought up from his infancy, and to which he was most firmly attached." 

Mary Aston (Coffin) Ogden, first wife of Charles Richard Ogden479, and dau. of Gen- 
John Coffin, was an estimable woman. It is said her ancestors in Boston were the ones to 
whom the cargo of tea was consigned that started the Revolutionary war. 

Susan {Clarke) Ogden, the second wife, was eldest dau. of Isaac Winslow Clarke, 
Deputy Commissary General at Montreal, and a niece of Lord Lyndhurst.

Peter Skene Ogden48o -was one of the most illustrious members of Judge Isaac 
Ogden's'74 family. The father having espoused the Royalist side in the early part of the 
Revolution, and being required to abandon his property in Newark, N. J., and to flee with 
his family to Canada, the son, Peter Skene Ogden48o^ -was doubtless born there. His 
middle [name was derived from the Skene family of Skenesboro, N.Y., on the southern 
shore of Lake Champlain, now known as Whitehall. They came from Skene, near 
Aberdeen, Scotland, where the family had been distinguished in war and literature. 
Philip Skene was Lieut. Gov. of Crown Point and Ticonderoga, and with his son, Andrew 
Philip Skene, entertained the same political opinions as did Judge David Ogdenso and 
his son Judge Isaac Ogdeni74. There was a community of interests between the two 
families, and a warm and lasting friendship. An "Andrew" Skene, probably the son 
aforenamed, and an eminent jurist, was godfather of Peter Skene Ogden48o. He and 
the latter's father. Judge Isaac Ogdeni74, went to England to petition the Crown for redress 
in losses incurred during the war, not only for their fathers* families, but for Loyalists 
generally. 

Peter Skene Ogden48o was destined to become one of the most able, energetic and 
renowned spirits of the great Northwest section of America. He was for a short time in the 
service of Mr. Astor, but in 181 1 he entered the service of the Northwest Company, and after 
the latter was amalgamated with the Hudson's Bay Company in 1821, he was at once 
transferred to the Western department. He was active in establishing trading posts with 
Indian tribes, and negotiating commercial relations with them. In one of his expeditions 
he discovered the Humboldt River. At this time he is described as being "short, dark- 
skinned, and rather rough in his manner, but lively and witty, and a favorite with every- 
body. He was a great practical joker, carrying his love of fun and frolic to great lengths." 

For twenty years subsequent to 1824, John McLaughlin had been the dominant spirit 
of the Hudson's Bay Co. and of the northwest coast, residing at Fort Vancouver on the 
Columbia River. Because of his humanity toward distressed emigrants and undue famili- 
arity with United States settlers, the London management sought to weaken his position 
by vesting the supreme power on the Pacific in a board of management consisting of Mc- 
Laughlin, James Douglas and Peter Skene Ogden as chief factors. When Dr. McLaughlin 
retired, Douglas and Ogden continued the management as a board with headquarters still 
at Fort Vancouver. Bancroft calls them "fearless, warm-hearted, open-handed and clear- 
headed." 

In 1846 James Douglas had removed to Vancouver Island, where a post had been estab- 
lished at Victoria, and which became the Company's headquarters, and Peter Skene Ogden 

180 




PETER SKENE OGDEN

was in command on the Columbia. He was a man of wonderful genius and tact, and when- 
ever the Hudson's Bay Co. had occasion to send one of their officers on a delicate and danger- 
ous mission, Peter Skene Ogden was the man chosen for it. A writer says of him: "His 
even temper, his great flow of good humor, and his wonderful patience, tact and perseverance, 
his utter disregard of personal inconvenience and suffering, rendered him just the man for 
any difficult or dangerous task, He was greatly esteemed by his brother officers and almost 
worshipped by his men and by the Indians." 

After more than thirty years of these experiences, his last great work was in connection 
with the Whitman massacre at Waiilatpu in 1847 by the Cayuses, when the missionary Dr. 
Whitman, his wife, and nine other whites were slain by the savages. Within twenty-four 
hours after Mr. McBean's messenger arrived with tidings of the murderous work of the 
Cayuses, a force was equipped and dispatched under command of Mr. Ogden for Walla 
Walla, where the surviving captives were held by the Indians. The whole matter of rescue 
being left to Mr. Ogden, he made haste to negotiate with the Indians before an American 
army could reach them, knowing full well that if it were known that a company of militia 
was marching on Walla Walla, the rage of the savages would know no bounds, and that 
every captive would be slain. Taking sixteen men, he left Vancouver, Oregon, on Dec. 7, 
and hastened up the Columbia to The Dalles, where he found the Indians had the previous 
day taken four horses from the Mission enclosure, signifying nothing less than hostilities. 
Upon Mr. Ogden 's advice, Mr. Hinman removed his family and all other Americans at The 
Dalles to Willamette. Ogden and his party arrived at Fort Walla Walla on the evening 
of Dec. 19, and found that none of the captives had been killed, although they had been 
"decreed against." Prior to Mr. Ogden's arrival, and as soon as Mr. McBean had learned 
the intention of the Cayuses, he sent his interpreter to warn them that "they had already 
gone too far," and to request them to desist from further crimes. "When my messenger 
arrived," he says, "Indian women, armed with knives and other implements of war, were 
already assembled near the house where the captives were, awaiting the order of chief 
Tiloukaikt, who was present. On being informed of my request, he hung down his head and 
paused, then with a wave of his hand peremptorily ordered the women away, who, abusing 
him, called him a coward." 

Mr. Ogden's first effort was to call a council of chiefs to learn their plans in regard to 
their prisoners. Couriers were immediately dispatched and the council assembled on the 
23d. The Indians' hope of securing peace with the Americans depended upon the retaining 
of Mr. Spalding and the captive families as hostages. Ogden's speech on the occasion was 
as follows: "We have been among you for thirty years, without the shedding of blood. 
We are traders, and of a different nation from the Americans. But, recollect, we supply you 
with ammunition, not to kill Americans, who are of the same color, speak the same language, 
and worship the same God as ourselves, and whose cruel fate causes our hearts to bleed. 
Why do we make you chiefs if you cannot control your young men? Beside this wholesale 
butchery, you have robbed the Americans passing through your country, and have insulted 
their women. If you allow your young men to govern you. I say you are not men or chiefs, 
but hermaphrodites who do not deserve the name. Your hot-headed young men plume 
themselves on their bravery; but let them not deceive themselves. If the Americans begin 
war, they will have cause to repent their rashness, for the war will not end until every man 
of you is cut off from the face of the earth! I am aware that many of your people have 
died. But so have others. It was not Dr. Whitman who poisoned them; but God who has 
commanded that they should die. You have the opportunity to make some reparation. 
I give you only advice, and promise you nothing, should war be declared against you. The 
company will have nothing to do with your quarrel. If you wish it, on my return I will 
see what can be done for you ; but I do not promise to prevent war. Deliver me the prisoners 
to return to their friends and I will pay you a ransom, that is all." 

181 



Cl^c €>5ticn family 



Mr. Ogden wished to secure the rescue of the prisoners without altering the relations 
of the company with the Indians, whose friendship they had long possessed and did not 
want to lose; neither would he anticipate the action of the American Government or people. 
Bancroft continues: "The Indian impulse, shifting as the sands of the sea, gave way to 
Ogden's superior will. With some weak efforts to excuse the disposition to yield, Tauitau 
consented to the ransom of the captives. The Hudson's Bay Company's men were married 
to Indian women, and were therefore his brothers; he could not refuse his brother's request. 
Tiloukaikt, besides the tie of blood, recognized the claim of the company upon him made 
by allowing their dead to be buried side by side. 'Chief!' he cried, 'your words are weighty 
— your hairs are gray. We have known you a long time. You have had an unpleasant 
journey to this place. I cannot, therefore, keep the families back. I make them over to 
you. which I would not do to another younger than yourself.' " Peupeumoxmox remarked 
the Americans were changeable, but agreed to release of captives. The Nez Perce chiefs 
consented to return to Lapwai at once and bring Mr. vSpalding the missionary and others 
at that station. Mr. Ogden sent a letter by the young chiefs urging Mr. Spalding to lose no 
time in joining him at Walla Walla. He despatched another letter to the Chemakane Mission 
in which he expressed his great anxiety which had not permitted him to sleep for two nights. 
This letter was not' written till Dec. 31, and the alarm was occasioned by the fact that he 
had no sooner received the captives on the 29th as per agreement, than a rumor reached the 
natives of the arrival of the first company of volunteer riflemen at Walla Walla. But to 
his great relief Mr. Spalding arrived Jan. i, accompanied by a large force of Nez Perces. 
"After spending another night in earnest council with these natives, always more friendly 
and tractable than their relatives the Cayuses, Ogden embarked the ransomed company 
for Vancouver, thankful to be able to do so." 

"A courier bearing a dispatch to Gov. Abernethy of Oregon Ter'y reached Oregon City 
on Sunday morning. The letter, stating that Mr. and Mrs. Spalding, Mr. Stanley, the artist, 
and all the captive women and children were under Mr. Ogden's care and had reached Van- 
couver, was read before the congregation, and the greatest excitement prevailed of mingled 
gladness, gratitude, and sorrow." The ransomed captives were delivered to the Governor 
in Oregon City the following day. As the three boats passed Portland, as also on arrival 
at the Falls, a salute was fired, "the compliment being intended to express the general 
gratitude of the people to the gallant man who had effected their release." 

On the 17th the Governor indited the following letter to Mr. Ogden: "Sir: I feel 
it a duty as well as a pleasure to tender you my sincere thanks, and the thanks of this com- 
munity, for your exertions in behalf of the widows and orphans that were left in the hands 
of the Cayuse Indians. Their state was a deplorable one, subject to the caprice of savages, 
exposed to their insults, compelled to labor for them, and remaining constantly in dread 
lest they should be butchered as their husbands and fathers had been. From this state 
I am fully satisfied we could not relieve them. A small party of Americans would have 
been looked upon with contempt; a large party would have been a signal for a general 
inassacre. Your immediate departure from Vancouver on receipt of the intelligence from 
Waiilatpu enabling you to arrive at Walla Walla before the news of the American party 
having started from this reached them, together with your influence over the Indians, 
accomplished the desirable object of relieving the distressed. Your exertions in behalf 
of the prisoners will no doubt cause a feeling of pleasure to you through life, but this does 
not relieve them nor us from the obligations we are under to you. You have also laid the 
American government under obligation to you, for their citizens were the subjects of the 
massacre, and their widows and orphans are the relieved ones. With a sincere prayer that 
the widow's God and the Father of the fatherless may reward you for your kindness, I have 

the honor to remain, your obedient servant, 

"George Abernethy, 

" Governor of Oregon Territory. 
"To Peter Skene Ogden, Esq., 

"Chief Factor Honorable H. B. Company, Vancouver."

^ebentl^ (feneration 



Mr. Ogden replied as follows: 

"George Abernethy, Esq., Governor of Oregon Territory. Sir: I have to acknowledge 
the receipt of your highly flattering letter of the 19th inst., and the high value you lay upon 
my services in rescuing so many fellow-creatures from captivity, but the meed of praise is 
not due to me alone. I was the mere acting agent of the Hudson's Bay Company; for 
without its powerful aid and influence nothing could have been effected, and to them the 
praise is due. And permit me to add, should, unfortunately, which God avert, our services 
be again required under similar circumstances, I trust you will not find us wanting in going 
to their relief. I have the honor to remain, 

" Yours most respectfully, 

" Peter Skene Ogden." 

Mr. Ogden's letter appeared in the Spectator, prefaced by the remark that "the act 
of rescuing so many defenceless women and children from the bloody and cruel grasp of 
savages merits, and we believe receives, the universal thanks and gratitude of the people 
of Oregon. Such an act is the legitimate offspring of a noble, generous, and manly heart." 

Peter Skene Ogden48o came east in 1844, and in 1853 visited Canada, England, and 
the United States, and called upon his brothers and sisters. It had been his habit to corre- 
spond with his father and mother during their lives, and with his brothers and sisters to 
the time of his death, often inclosing contributions from his generous purse. 

As to his domestic life, Peter Skene Ogden48o rnarried Julia Reava, a lady pre- 
sumably of Indian descent, to whom he was always devotedly attached, and who was the 
mother of all his children. He died in Oregon City, Sept. 27, 1854, aged 60 years. His will 
is dated June 15, 1851, and was probated May 15, 1855. The executors were Sir George 
Simpson, Gov. of Rupert's Land, Archibald McKinley, of the Hudson's Bay Co., and Thomas 
B. Anderson, of Montreal, Can. The will disposes of about £4,600 beside Montreal Bank 
stock, and shares in Pugets Sound Agricultural Co., to his children, grandchildren, to Ann 
(Ogden) Hopkinsi334, to brother Henry's476 youngest daughter, and to Fabien Resel, son 
of Joseph Resel, for his education, he having been adopted when 8 mos. old by Mr. Ogden.

Judge David A. Ogden48s was born in New Jersey, his father Abraham Ogdeni76 
being Surrogate of Morris Co. and residing in Morristown until after the Revolutionary War, 
when the family removed to Newark. 

The following biographical sketch of David A. Ogden48s was furnished by his nephew, 
John Greig Ogden'475. 

"With all the advantages of a college education and early associations of the best 
character, together with strong hereditary claims to natural ability of a high order, he took 
up the study of the law in the city of New York, and in due time entered the profession, 
soon attaining both eminence and success. On 30 May 1797, he married Rebecca Cornell 
Edwards, a southern lady of distinction, and was for some years a resident of the city of 
New York. 

"It was at a time, however, when the public mind was largely under the influence of 
what was known at the time as the ' Expansion Idea, ' and the great Louisiana Purchase of 
1803. The nascent possibilities of the young and vigorous country were becoming more and 
more obvious to the thoughtful mind; they appealed most forcibly to the young lawyer. 
The example, too, of his personal friends and near relatives who were then investing in 
northern wild lands, and also urging him to represent their interests in that locality, so far 
strengthened his own convictions that he finally concluded to identify himself with the 
opening up and development of St. Lawrence county in the northern part of the state of 
New York and bordering on the majestic St. Lawrence river. Accordingly, during the 
intervals of business, he made frequent visits there, at the same time investing largely 
for himself and others in the wild lands of the county in the vicinity of Ogdensburg (which 
took its name from him) and of Hamilton, afterward called Waddington, at which point 
he proposed eventually to settle. Here he arranged plans for the utilization of the fine 
water power, and the construction of the necessary dam and bridge to the island, and other 
improvements, availing himself temporarily of local agents for the conduct and supervision 
of the work. Finally, in or about the year 1811, he went there with the full intention of 
remaining permanently and growing up with the country, and with strong faith in its future. 

"A man of fine presence and high character, — alert, progressive, and large-minded, — 
in short, fitted by nature to be a leader of men, he soon became one of the most noted of 
all the pioneers of that portion of the state, quickly gaining their respect and confidence, 
and demonstrating at the same time his eminent fitness to be their counsellor and political 
representative. Accordingly we find him appointed Judge of the Court of Common Pleas, 
serving from i8rr to 181 5. Shortly after, he was elected Representative to Congress from 
the Twentieth District, serving from 1817 to 1821. Subsequently, he was again appointed 
Judge of Common Pleas from 1820 to^ 1824, and reappointed as such Judge from 1825 to 
1829.

Judge DAVID A. OGDEN 
No. 485 



^etenti^ dB^eneration 



"Concurrently with these pubHc duties, Mr. Ogden's Ufe was in all respects an 
unusually full and active one. His own private business and the cares and occupations of 
domestic and social life, the large representative interests committed to his charge, and 
the many demands made upon his time and resources by a community which looked up to 
him as its friend and adviser, gave him occupation enough to fully employ the administra- 
tive talent and executive ability with which he was gifted. 

"He was one of the Commissioners appointed by the general government to define 
and settle the boundary line between Canada and the States, with reference more particu- 
larly to the islands in the St. Lawrence river. One of them, the Isle au Rapide de Plat, 
then so-called and afterward and still known as Ogden's Island, opposite the village of 
Waddington, containing nearly a thousand acres, was bought by him from Daniel McCor- 
mick, the original patentee, in 1815, and upon it he shortly afterwards erected a large 
and handsome mansion, in which he raised a numerous family, and which still remains to 
commemorate his name. The dearth of labor in the conditions then prevailing was a 
serious problem; the solution of it was much aided by Mr. Ogden, who personally exerted 
himself to tap the stream of Irish immigration at Montreal, and draw from it enough to 




supply the local demands of the settlement. At an early date he also initiated measures for 
the building of a church. Beginning it about 181 2, and with some aid from Trinity Church, 
New York, and personal friends, but most largely through his own means and efforts, it 
was finally completed, paid for, and consecrated 22 August 18 18. He gave it two hundred 
and fifty acres of glebe lands, and twenty-five acres for a cemetery. He also gave the village 
a considerable tract of land for a public park, showing in this way the spirit that animated 
him in all his relations to the people among whom he had come to live. It was a busy, 
useful and honorable life, -but a short one, Mr. Ogden having died while yet in its prime, on 
June II, 1829; and it was a life that did honor to his God, his country, and himself." 

The following epitaphs are on tablets in the chancel of St. Paul's Church, Waddington, 
N. Y.: 

"Sacred to the memory of David A. Ogden, born in New Jersey, Jan. loth 1770; 
died at Montreal June nth 1829. 

"This tablet is designed not to delineate his public or private virtues, but to testify 
the veneration with which his memory is cherished by an afflicted family." 

"Sacred to the memory of Rebecca Cornell Ogden, relict of David A. Ogden, born 
in Newberry, N. C. March ist, 1776; died at Waddington, N. Y. April 19, 1852. 

"This tablet is erected by her son David, as an earnest of his deep love and respect 
for her memory."

"they were the cr^me of the creme of New York society. They were the founders of our great 
commercial city, and their names should be honored as long as the city endures." The 
establishment was to be used as a Coffee House, "and for no other use or purpose, until 
the number of nominees should be reduced to seven," when the property was to be sold 
and the proceeds divided between the seven remaining shareholders. 

The town of Hammond, St. Lawrence Co., N. Y., was named for Abijah Hammond, 
who owned the township previous to 1814.

Thomas Ludlow Ogden488 was probably born in Morristown, N. J., his father, Abra- 
ham Ogden, Esq. 1 76 being many years Surrogate of Morris Co. and living in Morristown 
until the close of the Revolution, when he removed his family to Newark, N. J. His nephew, 
John Greig Ogden 147s furnished the following biography: 

"Graduating from Columbia College in the year 1791, he soon afterwards commenced 
the practice of law in the city of New York. He and his elder brother David A. Ogden485 
being partners became associated in business with Alexander Hamilton upon his resuming 
the practice of law after his retirement from the office of Secretary of the Treasury in the 
cabinet of Washington. Mr. Ogden became one of the leading lawyers of his day, devoting 
himself more particularly to the specialties of wills, trusts, and equity jurisprudence; he 
acted as counsel for corporations and prominent families in the city. He was for many 
years, and at the time of his death, a trustee of Columbia College, was for thirty-eight years 
a Vestryman of Trinity Church and Clerk of the Vestry, as standing counsel for which it 
was his official duty to defend the rights of the corporation with its vast property against 

189 



Cl^c €)5Dcn family 



assaults from many quarters. He was also prominent in the foundation and management 
of important church institutions and societies, and for many years represented the church 
in her conventions both general and diocesan. His death occurred in the city of New York 
Dec. 17, 1844. No higher tribute to his worth can be given than the following words 
inscribed on the monument in Trinity Church, New York, which was erected by its Vestry 
to his memory: 

" ' Of a sound judgment and untiring industry, the one improved by diligent cultivation, 
the other quickened by religious principle, his long life was one of usefulness and duty to 
his family, his profession, and to society. 

" ' Born and nurtured in the bosom of the Church, he gave back to her, with filial grati- 
tude, his best powers, his most valued time, his dearest affections; and in all her institutions 
stood foremost in both counsel and action. Christian obedience marked his course, chris- 
tian peace crowned his end, and in a christian hope he now rests from his labors.' "

His son John Greig Ogdeni475 was the author of the following biographical sketch: 

"Gouverneur Ogden49i, son of Abraham Ogdeni76 and Sarah Frances Ludlow, was 
born in New Jersey Aug. 10, 1778. Graduating from Columbia College in 1796, acquiring 
subsequently a legal education, and liberally endowed by nature, but without fortune, he 
was called at an early age to face the problem of life. His first undertaking was to accept, 
at the instance and on behalf of the leaders of the Federalist and conservative party 
in New York, a confidential inission to the old Natchez district of West Florida in order 
to have a conference there with the Honorable Winthrop Sargent who, up to 1801, had been 
its territorial Governor and stood high in the estimation of the cultured community then 
resident in the district. He accordingly left New York 8 February, 1803, for Philadelphia, 
going thence by stage to Lancaster; thence on horseback over the mountains to Pittsburgh 
where, on 18 February, he embarked with two men in an open boat, and after five weeks 
journey on the Ohio and Mississippi rivers, rowing by day and floating by night, a situation 
full of exposure, hardship and danger, he finally reached Natchez on the 24th March. Here, 
at the political headquarters of that growing though distant part of the country, so great 
was the extent and strength of public sentiment on the subject of expansion, then as now 
a vital question, and just on the point of solution through the cession by France of the vast 
Louisiana tract, that it hardly needed his interview with Governor Sargent to confirm the 
obvious fact that the administration policy of expansion was then largely in the ascendent. 
After a week of rest and conference with Governor Sargent, he resumed his journey by boat 
to New Orleans, where he embarked 6 April on ship for New York, arriving there 21 April, 
1803, a journey of two and a half months for an object obtainable today in as many hours. 
Thus returning, he resumed and completed his law studies. Afterwards, becoming deeply 
impressed by the then very prevalent idea of the desirability of investment in the wild lands 
of western and northern New York, he went to England and also to Germany, with the 

191 



Ci^e €)gt)cn family 



intention of impressing these views on foreign capitalists. In this he was successful, and 
returning home, he located himself at Hamilton (afterwards Waddington) on the St. Law^- 
rence river. Here was the scene of his future labors, and of a domestic life rarely excelled in 
felicity. The erection of flour-mills and furnaces, the direction of the resulting business, 
and the management of the extensive landed interests committed to his care, the building 
of a large mansion called ' EUerslie, ' in which he raised a numerous family, all these added 
to a wide circle of social life embracing the best and most prominent people of the state and 
of the country, afforded the varied and abundant materials of a life not without its cares 
and responsibilities, but of more than common interest, happiness, and average attainment. 
Honored, esteemed and respected while he lived, he left at his death an unspotted character, 
and a name held in loving remembrance by all who knew him. He died at the residence 
of his son G. Parish Ogden, Troy, N. Y., March 4, 1851, in the 72d year of his age." 

"EllersHe" was built by Gouverneur Ogden 491 in 1804. It was destroyed by fire 
in 1840, the accompanying illustration being drawn from a photograph taken about 1887.

Isaac Ogden's49s biography is thus given by the St. Lawrence Republican, of June i8, 
1867: 

"The recent decease of one of the oldest citizens of our county demands from the press 
more than the ordinary notice of his departure. Isaac Ogden, who died at Waddington 
(N. Y.) on the 6th instant, at the advanced age of eighty-three years, was a man of more 
than ordinary talent and business enterprise. He was born at Newark, N. J., on the nth 
day of October, 1784. He received a liberal education, and was a ripe scholar. At the age 
of eighteen, after the death of his father, Abraham Ogden, then Attorney General of the 
State of New Jersey, he went abroad to enter a commercial house of high standing. Here 
his unusual talent for business, his assiduous attention to his duties, and his strict integrity 
in all matters committed to his care, so won the confidence of his employers that soon after 
his majority he became one of the members of the house, and one of the most trusted of its 
agents in the transaction of an extended commerce, devolving upon him responsibilities 
of great magnitude. 

"Ardently attached to his native country, and desiring to return to it at the earliest 
period his engagements would permit, he, while abroad, declined many advantageous busi- 
ness connections, which would have made his residence in a foreign land, a permanent one. 
After an absence of eighteen years, spent principally in France, he returned to this country 
and established himself in a mercantile business in New Orleans, where he amassed a large 
fortune, which was wrecked in the commercial convulsions of 1836. For the next few years, 
his most earnest efforts were directed to the extrication of himself and his associates from 
their pecuniary embarrassments, and this accomplished, with a cheerful courage, he turned 
from the strife and turmoil of commerce, to the peaceful pursuit of agriculture, and sweets 
of domestic privacy. From his beautiful retreat at 'The Island,' one of those exquisite 
gems which adorn the majestic St. Lawrence, he watched the moral and political changes 
of the times with intense interest, and often with a prescience almost prophetic. And here, 
surrounded by an interesting family, his career drew to a peaceful close, cheered by the 
hopes of a gospel which he early embraced, and which had sustained him amid the many 
trials of his extended life, and here in a beautiful spot on his loved 'Island' home, he awaits 
the fruition of his Christian faith. 

"In manners, he was a gentleman of the old school, and in his opinions, he was clear 
and decided. His frankness carried conviction of the honesty of his purposes, and inspired 
a respect for his person and character, and his unwavering kindness of heart, and pureness 
of life rendered him the idol of the family circle where his memory will long be tenderly 
revered, and his many virtues cherished. 

"He was held in peculiarly tender reverence by a large circle of friends, from the fact 
that, added to his many genial qualities of heart and mind, he was the last of a noble genera- 
tion of men and women, many of whom were associated with those most loved and honored 
in our country."

the famous lawyers who adorned the bar of the U. S. Supreme Court ; being associated 
with, or pitted against Webster, Wirt, Pinkney, and other giants of the day. His argu- 
ments were characterized by a directness and simplicity of statement both of law and fact, 
that caused Chief Justice Taney to call him the 'Sledge Hammer of the Court.' He died 
on Staten Island July 16, 1849, in his 74th year, and was buried in what is called the 
Marble Cemetery." — "Sketch of Trinity Church, Newark, N. J."

of Morris Co., the location of the house in which Abraham Ogdensvs was born has been 
ascertained. 

"His father, John Ogden^a^, at the time of the Revolutionary War, owned and operated 
a mill on a stream that empties into the Whippany river near Whippany village. Where 
the road leading from Morristown, N. J., to Parsippany crosses this stream, the remains of 
the house and mill could be seen only a few years ago. Here John Ogden made flour for the 
army at Morristown, and it is stated that his wife often made the flour into bread for the 
hungry soldiers. The property afterwards came into possession of his son Abrahamsrs 
and so remained until May 3, 181 9, when he sold it to John Canfield. 

"When about 18 years of age, Abraham determined to seek his fortune elsewhere, 
and set out for Washington, the then newly-adopted seat of government. Arriving at 
Philadelphia he visited the Dickinson family, who had formerly lived in Morris Co., and was 
convinced by them that the upper Delaware country offered greater advantages to ener- 
getic settlers than did Washington. Accordingly he joined a company that Jesse Dickinson 
was organizing, and went with it to what is now Cannonsville, in Delaware Co., N. Y. 

"They built the first mill on the Delaware river, calling it the Federal Mill, as it was 
built about the time of the adoption of the first Constitution of the United States establish- 
ing Federal authority. The settlement was known as the 'Dickinson Settlement,' 'The City,' 
and as 'Federal Bar.' Finally it became 'Cannonsville,' which name it has since retained. 

"What induced Abraham Ogdens75 to leave the Dickinson Settlement does not appear, 
but in 1797 we find him on the west branch of the Delaware, just above the present village 
of Walton, N. Y. With him were his brothers IsaacS76, Jacob578 and WilhamsSo, the latter 
a boy of II years. Abraham and Isaac purchased land adjoining the east line of the Walton 
tract and erected a saw-mill jvist below Weed's Bridge, so called after Lieut. James Weed, 
a Revolutionary War officer who had settled there a few years before, and whose youngest 
daughter was destined to become Abraham Ogden's wife. 

"Abraham and Isaac divided their land between them, Isaac taking the lower half. 
As an evidence of the industry displayed by them it may be stated that within three years 
after their arrival they had built them each a house, and had a saw-mill in operation, with a 
carding machine at work in the upper story. Soon after this they added a fulling mill, and 
were manufacturing woolen goods suitable for the demands of the times. 

"During the administration of President Monroe, the state of New York, in order to 
encourage the manufacture of woolen goods, offered a silver tea set as a prize for the best 
woolen goods made in the state. This prize was awarded Abraham Ogden, and is still in 
possession of his descendants. In design it was emblematic of the woolen industry, and is 
shown in the accompanying illustration. 

"The land comprising the Walton tract was covered with a growth of immense pine 
trees, and these had only to be cut and rafted down the Delaware to Philadelphia to find

a ready market at a profitable price. The winters were spent in felling these trees and getting 
them to the river bank, where they were made into rafts and floated down the river by the 
aid of the spring freshets. A portion of the original Ogden tract is still called the 'Mast 
lot, ' from the great number of masts and spars that were cut from it and sold to agents of 
the Government at $50 a piece. So valuable did this lot become that others laid claim to it 
through an alleged flaw in the survey; but after being tried out in the courts the Ogdens 
were sustained in its ownership, and afterwards sold it for $18,000. 

"Abraham Ogden sts was an excellent business manager and his affairs were greatly 
prospered. His dealings in lumber and wool became extensive and often made visits to 
New York and Philadelphia necessary. 

"At the age of 31 he found himself in circumstances that warranted his taking a life 
partner, and on the 2d day of February, 1-802, he married Abigail Weed, the youngest 
child of Lieut. James Weed and Sarah Richards, his wife. The marriage took place at the 
home of the bride. Rev. David Harrower, the first settled minister at Walton, performing 
the ceremony. 

"Mrs. Ogden was born in New Canaan, Conn., Sept. 30, 1788, and, like her husband, 
was of Revolutionary stock. Her father, Lieut. James Weed, was also born at New Canaan, 
and when a boy of 14 enlisted in the French and Indian War. After the war he returned to 
New Canaan, and about 1764 married Sarah, daughter of James Richards. When the War 
of the Revolution broke out he enlisted in Capt. Hoyt's Company, and served under different 
commanders until peace was declared, rising to the rank of Lieutenant. 

"After the war several families left New Canaan and settled on the west branch of the 
Delaware river in New York, and in the spring of 1791 Lieut. Weed joined them, locating 
himself a few miles above the present village of Walton. He spent the summer in clearing 
land and in building him a log house, returning to New Canaan in the fall for his family. 
Only tradition is left to tell of their journey to the new house, and that only says they came 
by way of Kingston, crossing the mountains on pack horses. This brief mention gives 
slight token of the hardships endured, or the difficulties overcome on such a journey, and 
by such means of conveyance, of a large family, some of them young children, and with 
such household belongings as are indispensable even in a new country. But they arrived 
safely, on the evening of Nov. 3d, and doubtless found a warm welcome awaiting them from 
old acquaintances and neighbors from the old home they had exchanged for the new. The 
bridge across the Delaware near their home was called 'Weed's Bridge,' and the settlement 
that sprang up around them has since been known by that name. 

"Abraham Ogden and his young wife began housekeeping in a plank house that he had 
built near the saw-mill, and just below Weed's Bridge. In this house their four oldest children 
were born. In the meantime another and a better house had been builded and into this 
they moved Oct. 14, i8og. Here until 1820 they lived happy contented lives. The work 
was hard, and there was plenty of it, but they could foresee fortunes which hard work could 
not fail to give into their possession. 

"As early as 1791 these busy people had found time to build a log house, for a school 
house during the week, and a church on Sundays. In 1802 a library was established which 
was added to from time to time until in 1809 it was incorporated as the 'Walton Library' 
by act of the Legislature. 

"In 1820, in the midst of his usefulness, Mr. Ogden was stricken with paralysis, and 
from that time until his death, on Aug. 10, 1825, he was entirely helpless. His mental facul- 
ties however remained unimpaired, and with the assistance of his son, William Butler Ogden, 
then a lad of 1 5, he was able to direct from his bedside a successful termination of his business 
affairs. He was buried in the burying ground near the log church he had helped to build, 
and where many of his neighbors were already resting from their labors.

Cl^c £)5t)cn family 



"Mrs. Ogden survived her husband some twenty years. When her son William B. 
settled in Chicago she made his house her home, where she died Oct. 9, 1850. Her remains 
were brought to Walton and buried in the new cemetery in the southeast part of the village, 
and those of her husband were removed from the old burying ground and placed by her 
side." 

The Butler family, here connected with the Ogden family, was first represented in 
America by Jonathan Butler*, an Irish gentleman, who settled in Saybrook, Conn., in 
1724. He married, Dec. 8, 1726, Temperance Buckingham, daughter of Daniel Bucking- 
ham, and Sarah Lee, his wife. Their children were Jonathan'\ ElnathanS Stephen'*,

early career. 

William B. Ogden'stS was a specimen of robust boyhood, athletic, and fond of all boyish 
sports. He was especially fond of deer-hunting among his native hills in Delaware county, 
New York, and was remarkably accurate as a rifle shot. He developed into splendid physical 
manhood, being a little above medium height, and possessing large dark gray eyes, broad 
forehead, a ruddy complexion, a clear, musical voice, all tending to give him a manly and 
imposing presence. 

He detennined quite early in life to acquire a liberal education, and devote himself to 
the practice of law. He had hardly commenced his academic course, at the early age of 
fifteen, when his father's sudden prostration of health required him to return home to 
assume the management of his father's business, and the care of the family. Although the 

202

business so heroically assumed required great attention, and carried him to many cities, 
he found opportunity to cultivate his mind by reading, and gained much practical knowl- 
edge by wide observation during his travels. 

Meanwhile, at the age of eighteen years, he entered the military service of his native 
state, and was elected a commissioned officer the first day of duty; on the second day he 
was appointed Aid to his esteemed friend, Brig. Gen. Frederic P. Foote. The Hon. Selah 
R. Hobbie, for many years the distinguished Ass't Postmaster General of the United States, 
was a member of Gen. Foote's staff at the same time, and had been an intimate friend of 
Mr. Ogden from boyhood. Upon the retirement of Major Hobbie as Brigade Inspector, Mr. 
Ogden was appointed to the position, and served for several years. During Gen. Jackson's 
presidency, Mr. Ogden was made postmaster of his village, Walton, and so remained until 
his removal to Chicago. 

CHICAGO LIFE. 

At the age of twenty-one he became a partner in a mercantile firm that was moderately 
successful, but the play of his unusual powers naturally demanded a larger sphere of activity. 
He remained a few more years in his native county, when his attention was called to the 
possibilities of Chicago by his brother-in-law Charles Butler, Esq., and he determined upon 
a trip west. He reached Chicago in June, 1835, when the site of the future great metropolis 
was marked by little more than Fort Dearborn and a few huts, and when there were few 
more than 5000 persons between Lake Michigan and the Pacific. Mr. Ogden lived to see the 
population increased 2000 fold. His remarkable foresight convinced him that this terminus 
of Western lake navigation would become the centre of a vast empire of commercial life. 
He at once united with friends in the purchase of extensive real estate and established a 
land and trust agency known as the "American Land Co." The concern grew into one of 
the greatest institutions of the West. His first real estate ventures in 1835-6 were eminently 
successful, but he became financially embarrassed in 1837-8 by assuming liabilities for his 
friends whom he had endeavored to aid. He struggled with these embarrassments till 
1842-3, when he fully cleared himself of the entanglements. 

VAST ENTERPRISES. 

His real estate enterprises were immense. His sales for himself and others exceeded 
many millions of dollars, requiring many thousands of deeds and contracts signed by him. 
He laid out and constructed over one hundred miles of streets at his own expense and that 
of his clients, and built two bridges over the Chicago river. He constructed the first floating 
swing-bridge at Chicago, before having seen one. 

Nearly all the public improvements of the city were originated by him, and he pro- 
jected and built thousands of miles of railways passing through, or centering in Chicago. 
In this vast development, he was actuated as much by an abiding faith in the future of his 
country as by consideration of return of the invested capital. He early engaged in intro- 
ducing McCormick's mowing and reaping machines in the West. He built up the first large 
manufactory to produce them, and at his suggestion the first reaper was sent to the London 
Exhibition of 1851. 

mayor of CHICAGO. 

Mr. Ogden was the first Mayor of Chicago, and while an incumbent of that office, an 
event occurred, the outcome of which made one of the brightest pages of his history. Some 
frightened debtors had been led by scheming demagogues to call a meeting to devise meas- 
ures by which the law for the collection of debts might be suspended. Inflammatory speeches 
had been made, in which the debtors' sufferings and pecuniary dangers had been described. 
The Mayor was called upon, when, in a masterly address in which he displayed wonderful 
tact and persuasiveness, he exhorted his fellow citizens not to commit the folly of proclaim- 
ing their own dishonor. He entreated the embarrassed to courageously bear up against 

203 



Cl^c €)gDcn family 



adverse circumstances, remembering that no misfortune was as great as personal dishonor. 
"Above all things," said he, "do not tarnish the honor of our infant city." His pleadings 
prevailed. He always personally exemplified the American spirit of hopefulness and self- 
help. Pride of citizenship impelled him to ever come forward in times of emergency, when 
either his city or country needed mature judgment, and energetic, intelligent action. It 
was ever his aim to maintain public faith and credit. 

RAILWAY SCHEMES. 

His fertility of resources, and unbounded enthusiasm that led him to open up to com- 
merce and agriculture the great Northwest, and to establish facilities for the immense ship- 
ping trade of the great lakes, naturally made him a leading railroad promoter and magnate. 
The scope of his railway schemes was truly marvelous. "His acts are written in lines of 
iron all over the West." While he directly labored to connect the richest and most promis- 
ing sections of the great Northwest with Chicago by many railway routes, he planned a 
direct and continuous line from New York to Chicago, and thence westward to the Pacific. 
He was President of the Galena & Chicago Union R. R. Co., President of the Northwestern 
R. R. Co., President of the Illinois & Wisconsin R. R. Co., President of the Buffalo & Missis- 
sippi R. R. Co. in Indiana, until merged in the Michigan Central; President of the Chicago, 
St. Paul & Fond-du-Lac R. R. Co., the road of the latter company being constructed largely 
from his own means. He was also President of the Wisconsin & Superior Land Grant R. R. 
Co. He served as president of the great National Railroad Convention held at Philadel- 
phia in 1850, whose work was to take measures for the construction of the Pacific Rail- 
road. He was first President of the Union Pacific R. R. and held the position until the 
demands of his other vast business enterprises compelled him to retire as the executive 
head. He was a Director and afterward Receiver of the Pittsburg, Ft. Wayne & Chicago 
R. R., but generously refused the offered $25,000 salary, saying the road needed all avail- 
able money. The construction of most of the foregoing railroads was accomplished only 
after the most energetic and indefatigable exertions that would have disheartened most 
men. He labored more as a pioneer, and his services were to a great extent gratuitous and 
unselfish. When he retired from the Presidency of one of the greatest railroad corporations 
of the world, the Northwestern Railroad, in June, 1868, having been connected with the 
road since 1847, the stockholders unanimously adopted the following resolution: 

"Resolved, That his [W. B. Ogden's] connection with this Company, dating back 
for a period of twenty-one years, his disinterested labors in its behalf without fee or 
reward during the whole time, the benefit he has conferred upon it and the country, 
demand our grateful acknowledgments, and we hereby tender him our warmest thanks 
for his long services and our best wishes for his long-continued health and prosperity." 

As to official position, Mr. Ogden was also the first President of Rush Medical College, 
President of the Chicago Branch of the State Bank of Illinois, President of the Board of 
Sewerage Commissioners of Chicago, and President of the Sturgeon Bay & Lake Michigan 
Canal & Harbor Co. 

EDUCATION. 

Bishop Clarkson, an intimate friend of Mr. Ogden, gives the following concerning his 
education: "Mr. Ogden, although not a scholar himself, was yet the liberal patron of learn- 
ing, and of art, and the cherished guest and companion of scholars, of men of learning. His 
wonderful conversational powers, and his amazing capacity of gathering and assimilating 
knowledge and information on all subjects, made him 'the peer, if not the prince,' of the 
most cultured companies. He had an enthusiastic love of whatsoever was beautiful in nature, 
and true and real in man. Meanness instinctively shrank away from his presence, and false- 
hood and dishonesty cowered before his glance." 

204 



^ebent]^ dDieneration 



His intellectual and ethical tastes are thus spoken of by the Hon. Isaac N. Arnold of 
Chicago: "He was a lover of music and painting and poetry. Indeed, he possessed a sensi- 
bility to beauty in every form, and to the expression of noble sentiment in the arts and in 
literature, very rare in a man so absorbed in business and in great enterprises. He was 
never more attractive than in his library reciting the poetry of Bryant, Halleck, Holmes, 
Burns, Moore, and Scott; or at his piano, playing an accompaniment to his own voice as he 
sang with expression, if not with artistic skill, the simple ballads of Bums and Moore, and 
other songs popular thirty years ago. . . . His was one of those sympathetic natures 
that brought gladness into every circle he entered. His smile was like the sunshine to the 
landscape. He developed and brought into action whatever was good in those with whom 
he associated. . . . His nature was an inspiration and a stimulant. . . . No one 
entered his presence who was not made happier, and made to think better of themselves, 
and of others, of life and humanity." 

HIS POWERS OF ORATORY. 

Much has been said of Mr. Ogden's unusual powers of expression, both in ordinary 
conversation, and when before an audience. Mr. Arnold relates the following interesting 
occurrence of July 23, 1839, which demonstrates his happy choice of language, striking 
metaphors, and eloquent delivery. A large and magnificent steamer, the "Illinois," lay at 
the wharf of Newberry & Dole, and the people of Chicago, scarcely 4000 in number, who 
had purchased a suit of colors worthy the splendid boat, were gathered en masse at the 
harbor to present the same to Capt. Blake, her commander, and to Oliver Newberry, her 
owner. At that time Chicago had no completed railway line to the Atlantic, and was con- 
nected socially and commercially only by steamboats. It was a balmy summer afternoon, 
and Fort Dearborn, directly opposite, and all the shipping in the river were gayly decorated 
with the national colors. Wm. B. Ogden had been .selected to make the presentation speech. 

Mr. Arnold thus describes the occasion: "Mr. Ogden was a natural orator, and his 
manly voice, on this occasion, could be distinctly heard by the crowd on the wharf as well 
as on the deck of the steamer. After complimenting the 'splendid specimen of naval archi- 
tecture' on which he stood, and expressing his pleasure in being the organ of presenting the 
'appropriate gift' to the steamer bearing the name of our State, he spoke of the wonder- 
fully rapid advance of our country, and the means of communication, bringing the East 
and the West, the Hudson and the Great Lakes, and the Mississippi into convenient neigh- 
borhood. I remember a bold and striking figure in which he compared the ' prairie fires, ' 
which at that time annually were seen to invade our wide, and then unsettled, city limits, 
to the 'pillar of fire by night, ' lighting the 'path of Empire on its westward way. ' He then 
paid a glowing tribute to the memory of Robert Fulton, but for whose genius, he said, 'the 
lake and the prairie around us would have still remained in the wild solitude of natiire.' 
There would have been, but for Fulton, no steamer ' Illinois, ' no Chicago, and the broad and 
beautiful prairies around us would have continued long 'to waste their sweetness on the 
desert air. ' Turning to Capt. Blake, and unfurling a splendid silk banner, fit for an admiral, 
Maj. Gen. Scott standing at his side, he said : ' We present to you our country's flag. 
To you it is no stranger; under a most valiant chief (bowing to Gen. Scott), whom a grateful 
people have not forgotten to praise, bravely and honorably have you defended it in 
war. . . . Stand by it in peace — stand by it forever.' In conclusion, he said: 'For 
this noble craft, we would ask of Him who rules the raging storm and bids the rising 
waves be still, to save her from storm and tempest, from rocks and shoals, and bring her 
in safety to her destined haven. . . . Oft shall she bring to us, as she cuts through 
the swelling waves, many that we love, and when, with eager haste, it shall be our 
privilege to return once more to scenes of childhood's happy hours; once more to seek 
a parent's blessing, a sister's, brother's fond embrace; once more to view our native hills, 

205 



Cl^c €)5Den family 



and valleys, and streams; where, when a child, we gambolled wild and free, through every 
wooded glen; safely, swiftly, will she bear us, until we greet again our Fatherland.' 

"Walter L. Newberry, on behalf of his brother, Oliver Newberry, replied, and then, 
with Gen. Scott and a gay and merry party, she steamed north to Gross-Point, near where 
now is Evanston, thence down to the Calumet, and returned to her dock." 

IN EUROPE. 

In 1854-5 Mr. Ogden visited Europe and remained abroad about one and a half years. 
Being a careful and accurate observer, he gave much attention to various institutions and 
great public works. The canals of Holland, especially the great ship canal at Amsterdam, 
suggested to his practical mind the importance of a ship channel by which the waters of 
Lake Michigan might flow through the Chicago and Des Plains rivers into the Illinois and 
Mississippi rivers, thus affording free and direct steamboat navigation to and from Chicago. 
He later was a leading contractor on the Illinois-and-Michigan Canal, and one of its ablest 
advocates. 

HOME LIFE. 

While in Europe, Mr. Ogden gave much attention to art, and purchased a number of 
rare pictures and articles of virtu, many being the product of American artists working 
abroad, with which he adorned his mansion at Chicago. He built the latter in 1837, having 
chosen a lot in North Chicago, and where his delightful home was surrounded by native 
forest trees and shrubbery. Although at this time unmarried, he early brought to his home 
his mother and his sisters, and he welcomed his many friends to a most cordial and generous 
hospitality. The most intimate of the latter have tenderly drawn a veil over "a parcel of 
carefully-preserved, but long-ago-faded flowers; roses, pansies, some old garden flowers, — 
a ribbon, a glove, — some notes, and a little poem, — all tenderly-cherished relics of one from 
whom, many and long years before, he had been separated by death, and around whose 
grave, amidst all the active and absorbing scenes, in which he was still living, his memory 
still lingered fondly and faithfully." 

It was one of his sincerest pleasures to welcome to his home, his neighbors and fellow- 
citizens, visitors and strangers. There was no formality, but while all his guests were made 
to feel perfectly at ease, there was always a high-bred courtesy manifested and a solicitous 
consideration for others. It was Mr. Ogden's thought to gather to his fireside all the most 
worthy and distinguished of American social life, no matter how poor or humble. If dis- 
tinguished for merit, culture, or ability, they were most cordially received. "Here he enter- 
tained Van Buren, Webster, Poinsett, Marcy, Flagg, Butler, Gilpin, Corning, Croswell, 
Tilden, as well as Bryant, Miss Martineau, Fredrika Bremer, Margaret Fuller, the artist 
Healy, Anne C. Lynch, and many others, comprising some of the best representative men 
and women of our own country, and the most distinguished visitors from abroad. The 
guest always found good books, good pictures, good music, and the most kind and genial 
reception. Mr. Ogden himself, however, was always the chief attraction; he was in his 
way without an equal as a conversationalist. His powers of narration and description were 
unrivalled." 

FINANCIAL CRISIS OF 1857. 

While pushing the building of the Chicago, St. Paul & Fond-du-Lac Railroad which 
was carrying a large floating debt, and pending a sale of his mortgage bonds, negotiations 
abroad suddenly failed, the paper of the company went to protest, and Mr. Ogden, who had 
been an endorser to the extent of nearly $1,500,000, found himself in close quarters. It 
was a time of general financial depression, and many strong commercial houses went to the 
wall. However, he cheerfully and promptly undertook the herculean task of paying the 
large sum, aided by the advice and confidence of such friends as William A. Booth, Pres. 
American Exchange Bank, Caleb O. Halsted, Pres. Manhattan Co., and his counsellor, Hon. 

206 



^tUnt^ (Btntvation 



Samuel J. Tilden of New York. The creditors of the road allowed Mr. Ogden to continue 
in control, and to use his own judgment, and through the assets of the company and the 
free use of his private estate, soon retired all the paper of the company upon which he had 
been endorser. 

A debt is owed our common humanity by the recital of an incident connected with Mr. 
Ogden's financial straits, and which tends to show the unbounded confidence and high esteem 
with which he was held by his many friends. The financial house of which Mr. Ogden was 
the head at Chicago had been for many years the agent of Samuel Russell of Middletown, 
Ct., a wealthy, retired merchant, and founder of the house of Russell & Co., of Canton (China). 
Upon learning of his friend's embarrassment, Mr. Russell immediately placed his entire 
estate at his disposal, amounting to nearly a half million of dollars. Robert Eaton, an 
English gentleman of wealth and culture residing at Swansea, Wales, sent $80,000 to Mr. 
Ogden, to be used at his own discretion. Matthew Laflin, of Chicago, wrote from Saratoga 
ofEering $100,000 from himself and friends, and Col. E. D. Taylor, long of Chicago, repeat- 
edly tendered like substantial aid. Although Mr. Ogden did not avail himself of these most 
generous offers, they must have afforded him great comfort and satisfaction in his trying 
position. 

HIS power over men. 

While building one of his Wisconsin railroads, the farmers and villagers along the route 
were induced to make large stock-subscriptions, having been persuaded to do so by the 
promise of large returns from the development of the territory traversed by the road. Hard 
times came, and while the subscriptions had been paid, the road was not completed, and the 
people became exasperated, because they believed they had been swindled. They publicly 
declared that if the author of their misfortunes should come over the track of the luckless 
road, he would be tried without judge or jury, tarred and feathered — imprisoned — shot. 
Mr. Ogden learned of their threats, and, despite the pleadings of his friends, had handbills 
distributed through the towns along the line announcing his coming, and that he would 
publicly address the people. Believing themselves wronged, they prepared for a scene of 
violence. As Mr. Ogden presented himself, he was greeted with hisses and groans. 
Although alone and unarmed, he calmly faced his accusers and appealed to their sense 
of justice and fair play. He proceeded in his captivating manner to give the exact 
status of the situation, clearly explaining the cause of the railroad's incomplete condition, 
and how, because of the stringent times, he had personally lost more than all of them 
combined, and that with patient waiting and judicious adjustment of the affairs of the 
road, the tide would surely turn in their favor. His clear statement of facts, with his 
old-time oratorical ability, brought the enraged populace to their senses; and instead of 
lynching him, they appointed a committee to wait upon him, which said: "Mr. Ogden, we 
are authorized by the farmers, and other stockholders along the road, to say, if you wish 
it, we will double our subscriptions." 

the peshtigo lumber enterprise. 

In 1856, Mr. Ogden organized a lumber company for operations along the Peshtigo 
river in Northern Wisconsin. The company bought nearly 100,000 acres of pine lands, 
on which they constructed extensive saw-mills, and founded a thriving village. They con- 
structed a harbor on Green Bay at the mouth of the Peshtigo, and in a short time were 
prepared to ship 50,000,000 feet of lumber per annum to the Chicago market. 

In i860, he purchased at Brady's Bend, on the Alleghany river, in Pennsylvania, an 
estate of 5000 acres on which were extensive mines of iron and coal, rolling mills and furnaces, 
and a village of about 5000 population. Joined by friends, he organized the Brady's Bend 
Iron Co., capitalized at $2,000,000, employing some 600 men, making 200 tons of rails 
daily.

VILLA BOSCOBEL. 

Mr. Ogden's business interests causing him to spend so much time in New York, he 
determined upon possessing an eastern residence. This was consummated in the spring 
of 1866, when he purchased of J. Kennedy Smyth" 54 a handsome Gothic villa called 
"Boscobel" at Fordham Heights, Westchester Co., N. Y., and adjoining High Bridge. 
He made some additions, and extended the grounds until they contained 10 acres, 
with a frontage of a half mile on the Harlem River. The grounds were tastefully laid out, 
having a conservatory, stables, green-houses, and everything that abundant means could 
suggest and provide for. The many gabled house is of blue-stone, with Ohio freestone trim- 
mings, and surrounded by broad verandas, from which well-shaven lawns slope down the 
hill. He also enlarged and beautified his homestead at Chicago and divided his time between 
the two establishments, but becoming weary of business, he retired to "Boscobel" to spend 
the remaining years of his life, and enjoy a well-earned repose. 

COMMERCIAL FORESIGHT. 

The advanced ideas entertained by Mr. Ogden are shown by the fact that, at this 
early day, he had plans prepared for a subway under Broadway, New York City, which 
plans are yet in possession of the family. They contemplated a double-track railway, with 
a roadway on either side for trucks and heavy traffic. He was also deeply interested in the 
Panama Canal project, and took steps toward the formation of a syndicate to undertake its 
building; his prophetic vision foreseeing the time when both these undertakings would 
become a necessity. 

DISASTERS OF 1871. 

He was still interested in many vast enterprises in the Northwest, but had entrusted 
their management to other hands. But his release from active business affairs did not last 
long. On Oct. 8, 1871, the wires flashed the news to him at "Boscobel, " "Chicago is burn- 
ing!" He hastened West to survey the appalling work of the flames that had so nearly 
destroyed the city, and rendered homeless 100,000 of its population. He arrived Oct. 10, 
only to view the smoking ruins of vast business and residence blocks, the many public 
buildings. City Hall, churches, banks, hotels, stores, warehouses, homes, — all in utter ruin. 
His own luxurious home, with its gathered treasures of a lifetime, was totally destroyed. 
The labors of forty years lay in ashes, but Mr. Ogden met the great calamity with heroic 
fortitude, and plans were soon on foot to rebuild the Ogden Building, the Lumber Ex- 
change, and many other institutions with which he was directly connected. 

The next day he received the intelligence of the utter destruction, also by fire, of his 
immense lumber establishment at Peshtigo, Wis. He tarried at Chicago only long enough 
to inspire hope and courage in the stricken and disheartened people, and hastened on to 
Peshtigo, where his great soul was more needed by the despairing survivors. Gen. Strong 
accompanied him. From an eminence they overlooked the thousands of acres of burnt 
forest lands. All was gone. The thriving village of Peshtigo, with its factories, mills, shops, 
stores, churches, boarding-houses, hotels, dwellings, warehouses, bridges, had been leveled 
by the flames within a few hours. Many horses and mules and other domestic animals 
were burned, but the more shocking was the loss of the lives of 3 1 5 men, women and children 
who perished in the fire. In the face of these terrible calamities that would have utterly 
crushed and disheartened most men, — the two fires having entailed a financial loss alone tci 
Mr. Ogden of over $2,000,000, — he was calm and neither murmured nor complained. "It 
is the act of God," said he; "we are not responsible. We will rebuild this village — the 
mills, the shops — and do a larger winter's logging than ever before." 

He at once applied his old-time energy, and superintended the reconstruction, remain- 
ing until December, and worked with the men day after day from dawn till dark, constantly 
exposed to the inclement weather. Mr. Arnold says: "When night came, he would go on 

208

an open car, drawn by mules, eight miles to the harbor. All the evening, until late in the 
night, he was engaged with his clerks and assistants, in drawing plans, writing letters, and 
sending telegrams to his agents, and the next morning, break-of-day would find him again 
at the head of his men at Peshtigo. During all this period, he was cheerful and pleasant, 
and inspired every body with courage and faith in the future. This terrible strain upon him, 
and overwork, for a man of his years, probably shortened his life." He rebuilt the mills, 
machine shops, and dwelling-houses, and the village in a short time contained about 2,000 
inhabitants. Having repaired his great losses, he again retired to "Boscobel." 

POLITICS. 

Mr. Ogden was what would now be termed, an Independent Democrat, always putting 
principle before party, though strongly attached to the principles of true Democracy. He 
came prominently into public life in 1834, being elected that year to represent his native 
county in the New York Legislature. He was less than thirty years old, but was elected 
to the Assembly purposely to represent the interests of the projected New York & Erie 
Railroad, which sought state aid. On Mar. 20, 21, 22, 1835, he made a remarkable speech in 
favor of the road. It was a bold, sagacious, prophetic speech, that revealed the wonderful 
foresight and ability of the speaker. He at that time outlined the probable routes of the 
great railway lines of the country that took shape at a later day. 

While in the N. Y. Assembly, he became intimately associated with such prominent 
men as Martin Van Buren, Silas Wright, Wm. L. Marcy, Benj. F. Butler, Azariah C. Flagg, 
Edwin Croswell, and John A. Dix. It has already been stated that Mr. Charles Butler, a 
brother of Gen. Benj. F. Butler, Attorney General of the United States under Jackson and 
Van Buren, married a sister of Mr. Ogden. 

He was never an office seeker, and several times opposed candidates of his own political 
party whom he considered unfit for office. During his Chicago life he was often elected to 
City Councils, but public office having no charms for him, he accepted only that he might 
subserve the best interests of his city or country. In 1852 he declined a nomination for 
Congress. He was opposed to slavery, and during the Civil War acted with the Repub- 
lican party. He enthusiastically supported Abraham Lincoln, and was elected to the 
Illinois Legislature on the same ticket. Feeling it a time of great emergency, he accepted 
a seat in the state Legislature, though at cost to him of great self-denial. In the same year, 
i860, the expediency and propriety of nominating him for the Presidency was strongly 
urged, because of being foremost and immeasurably ahead of all other men in maintaining 
public credit, and advancing public improvements. What prompted this sentiment was 
the value of his labors made manifest by his public works all through the Northwest. 

PHILANTHROPIES. 

Mr. Ogden's early struggles, and the acquiring of a masterly spirit of self-help, made 
him an inspiration to others who often sought his cheerfully given advice. At one time, 
he said to a lady who had been reduced from affluence to poverty, and who came to seek 
advice for the training of her inexperienced children: "Madam, don't have the least con- 
cern. If your sons are healthy and wiUing to work, they will find enough to do, and if they 
, cannot begin at the top, let them begin at the bottom, and very likely they will be all the 
J better for it. I was born close by a saw-mill, was early left an orphan, christened in a 
ij mill-pond, graduated at a log school-house, and, at fourteen, fancied I could do any thing I 
turned my hand to, and that nothing was impossible, and ever since, madam, I have been 
trying to prove it, and with some success." 

He was singularly hospitable, and ever manifested a kind and charitable spirit. Bishop 
Clarkson adds: "When he was crowded with business enough to weigh down half a dozen 
common men, and when people were waiting to confer with him on important interests, 

L^4J 209 



Cl^e €)gDcn ifamil^ 



I have known him to leave it all, in order to carry a bunch of flowers from his conservatory 
to an invalid neighbor, or to stop at the door of a friend to inquire after a sick child. Men 
who live a merely selfish life never do such things. So was there about him always a true 
considerateness for others, a toleration for their opinions, a gentleness to forward their 
weaknesses, a willingness to listen to their grievances, and a cheerfulness that made them 
think more lightly of their woes. These were the qualities that made him so true a friend, 
and so valuable a neighbor. 

"It does not often happen that a man passes away from earth who at one time or 
another, or in one way or another, helped or inspired or benefited as many struggling and 
anxious men a? William B. Ogden did. And this is one of life's noblest records. In times 
of trouble and distress, men who knew him instinctively turned to him, not merely because 
he was a rich man, but because he was full of the better wealth of sympathy and hopeful- 
ness and kindheartedness. 

"The courtesy that was inborn, the considerateness for others that was uppermost in 
his nature, the sunny cheerfulness that in the days of his health pervaded the icy atmos- 
phere around him, the outstretched hand for the distressed and the unfortunate, the patient 
counsel for the hundreds who naturally came to him in their perplexity — the pleasant 
words that came from a generous heart fell with such soothing power on broken spirits. 
These were the things that made Mr. Ogden as truly a benefactor of his kind, as the rail- 
roads he projected, in the cities he built, or the material developments that he brought 
about. His benefactions, private and public, were very large; no one really knew how 
much he gave. During his thirty years residence in Chicago there was scarcely an enter- 
prise, benevolent, charitable, or literary, that did not number him among its most liberal 
supporters. His name is associated with the early struggles of most of the institutions of 
the city that have now become strong and great, and always as a generous helper as well as 
a judicious foundation-layer." 

Among the institutions of the Northwest which he generously aided were — Rush 
Medical College (of which he was first President), the Theological Seminary of the North- 
west, the Historical Society, the Academy of Sciences, the Astronomical Society, the Uni- 
versity of Chicago (of which he was President of the Board of Trustees), and the Chicago 
Woman's Home. 

RELIGION. 

Mr. Ogden was reared in the faith of the Prot. Episcopal Church, and was attached to 
St. James', Chicago, and later was a vestryman of St. James', Fordham, N. Y. Bishop 
Clarkson says: "Mr. Ogden was always a believer in Christianity, theoretically, and a 
consistent and ceaseless helper in its work, although he did not until late in life give his 
personal allegiance to its divine Founder, or appropriate to himself its precious consolations. 
But when he did come at last to lay his soul at the foot of the cross of Christ, it was with all 
the trustfulness of a confident faith, and with all the humility of a true penitent. 

"During all the years of his connection with St. James' Church he responded to its 
many calls and claims with unstinted hand. And there is many a church now standing in 
the West in whose walls he freely invested, and many a poor missionary who had been 
made more comfortable by his benefactions. And this is after all a practical Christianity of 
more worth than empty pretensions or ostentatious lip service." 

He was not only ready to contribute largely to every missionary enterprise, but to 
make up every shortage in the oflferings of others. He was in failing health during the last 
year of his life, but despite much suffering, he maintained a cheerfulness and manliness ever 
characteristic of him. 

IN MEMORIAM. 

In a work entitled, "Biographical Sketches of the Leading Men of Chicago," published 
about 1867, the following estimate is given of Mr. Ogden ten years before his death. It is

here repeated to show the appreciation of his Hfe and efforts while Uving: "William B. 
Ogden is a man of noble mould. We claim not that he is faultless, or free from the imper- 
fections and failings of our common humanity; but as a man, a brother, a citizen, a public- 
spirited, a charitable, a benevolent, and capable man, we acknowledge no superior, and no 
name in the Northwest calls up so many acknowledgments of public indebtedness for general 
benefits resulting from individual energy, enterprise, and ability, as that of William B. 
Ogden. 

"Former generations have commemorated the deeds of the worthy in monuments of 
bronze and marble. It is the glory of the nineteenth century, that general utility and the 
elevation and amelioration of the condition of all classes are its primary objects. In this 
century, men are to be measured and praised or censured by their works. 

"The public improvements of the Northwest, radiating from the home of his adoption, 
are noble monuments, commemorating in their tisefulness both the character and enter- 
prise of the subject of this sketch." 

After Mr. Ogden's death, a meeting of the Historical Society of Chicago was held Dec. 
lo, 1877, at which time Robert H. Clarkson, Bishop of Nebraska, and Hon. Isaac N. Arnold, 
President of the Society, read interesting papers. According to the Inter-Ocean their common 
theme was: "One who, more than any other man, living or dead, had laid the foundations 
of Chicago's splendor." 

Bishop Clarkson (from whose pen we have previously quoted), among other things, 
said: "My purpose is simply to give my own estimate of his character, and of those quali- 
ties, mental and moral, that attached men to him, and made him so capable and influen- 
tial." In speaking of his first impressions, in 1849, of ^^is "manly strength and elegant 
presence," he said, "He impressed me then as hardly any man had ever done before, or has 
ever done since, as one of the largest-minded and most comprehensive men I had ever 
seen. . . . He was always a leader and master spirit. . . . If he had given his life 
to the practice of the art of persuasion, he would have been the peer of Henry Clay. And if 
he had followed his original purpose of preparing himself for the legal profession, his name 
would have gone into history alongside of that of Daniel Webster. Had the love of politics 
or statesmanship seduced him from commercial pursuits, he would unquestionably have 
taken rank with Lincoln and Douglas and Seward. His great powers were always used on 
the side of right and justice and for the public weal. No man had ever a keener sense of 
honor, and though his active life and positive character necessarily brought him sometimes 
in conflict with other men, his personal integrity was ever unassailed." 

The first portrait of William B. Ogden, painted by Mr. Geo. P. A. Healy, was destroyed 
in the Chicago fire. Upon the request of the Chicago Historical Society, Mrs. Ogden ordered 
a second portrait painted by the same celebrated artist, and when it was finished, it was 
presented by her at a memorable meeting of the Society, Dec. 20, 1881. Edwin H. Sheldon, 
Esq. 1584, in behalf of Mrs. Ogden, made the presentation address, in which he said: "I 
lived under the same roof with Mr. Ogden for a quarter of a century, and for nearly all that 
time we carried on our house jointly, thus enforcing a very close and long-continued intimacy. 
These years brought to each of us, as they do to all, days of trial, of suffering, and of 
sorrow, and yet in all that time, looking back with careful scrutiny, I can not recall one 
harsh or unkind word received from him. His patience and forbearance were great; his 
friendship steadfast; and his good will unbounded. I speak strongly, perhaps; but only as 
I feel justified in doing, from an acquaintance of over forty years." 

Next followed a masterly memorial address by Hon. I.N. Arnold (from which several 
extracts have previously been taken), when the Hon. Thomas Hoyne was called to the 
chair, and the Hon. Elihu B. Washburne paid an eloquent tribute to the memory of Mr. 
Ogden. Among many excellent things, Mr. Washburne said: "Mr. Ogden was a man of 
education, intelHgence, and refinement. As a business man, he had broad and enlightened 

211 



Ci^e C^gtien iffamil^ 



views, a bold spirit, and unerring sagacity. Of courtly and polished manners, there is no 
society in the world he would not have adorned." 

The funeral ceremonies took place Aug. 6, 1877. The procession moved from Mr. 
Ogden's late residence, the Villa Boscobel, to St. James' Church, Fordham. The pall-bearers 
were Gouverneur Morris, William A. Booth, Parke Godwin, Oswald Ottendorfer, William H. 
Sheldon, Martin Zoborowski, Lewis G. Morris, Franklin Edson, Gabriel Mead, and Andrew 
H. Green. The services at the church were conducted by Bishop Clarkson, assisted by the 
Rev. Joseph Blanchard. The remains were taken to Woodlawn Cemetery for burial.

Judge Isaac OgdensvS and his brother Abraham left Morristown, N. J., in 1797, and 
settled in the town of Walton, Delaware county, N. Y., where they purchased land adjoining 
the east line of the Walton Tract. Here they erected a large fulling mill, and became so 
successful in the manufacture of woven fabrics, that the Government at one time awarded 
them a medal for the excellency of their cloth. 

In early life Judge OgdenstS began to take an active interest in political and social 
affairs, and at different periods held offices of emolument and honor. He was a vestryman 
in Christ's Church; was member of Assembly 1812-14; Collector of U. S. Internal Revenue 
1813-21; State Senator 1816-19, and again 1824-26; was County Judge 1816-28, and 
Presidential Elector in 1840. 

"Later in life he retired from active political life, and enjoyed a well-earned rest in the 
quiet and comfort of a farmer's life."

and practical ability;" voted for abolition of slavery. Defeated for Gover- 
nor of New York in 1844 by Silas Wright. Elected Comptroller of New 
York state in 1847. J^'^- i> 1849, suggested essential principle of present 
national banking system. Elected Vice President U. S. in 1848. Upon death 
of Pres. Zachary Taylor, Millard Fillmore took presidential oath of office 
July 10, 1850. Was exceptionally pure and patriotic. During administra- 
tion. Commodore Perry was sent on expedition to Japan in 1852, and treaty 
ports were opened. Treaties were made with S. A. countries 1851-2; Plata

high degree of prosperity in all departments of its industry." Was candi-

He married Caroline Carmichael in 1858, and spent his last j'ears in 
Buffalo. "The famous Fillmore house, where President Fillmore and his 
gracious wife dispensed a lavish hospitality for many years, is on Niagara 
Square, one of the pleasant parts of the city of Buffalo. . . . Later, 
during its existence as an apartment house, the old mansion touched the 
White House again, for to it came as a bHde Mrs. Cleveland's mother, 
Mrs. Perrine, after several seasons with her daughter in the Executive 
Mansion. 

"Though again refitted, and converted into a fashionable hotel, the 
original style of the house has been carefully preserved. The drawing room 
is just as it used to be. Here are the curious shaped mirrors that tell no 
tales, although they have reflected many a company of distinguished guests; 
also the heavy cornices, quaint cabinets, odd-shaped pieces of rosewood 
furniture, and French tapestry rug. In a niche on the main stairway a 
marble bust of President Fillmore looks out upon the new-old scene. To 
the taste and generous investment of a woman, Buflfalo owes the careful 
restoration and preservation of a historical house, Miss C. B. Burtis being 
its present owner and manager of the new enterprise."

the J. Q. Adams administration, he was appointed U. S. Marshal for the District of N. J. 
and removed to Perth Amboy to live. He became so involved in adverse business trans- 
actions that his property passed out of his hands, including "Barnet Hall" which estate he 
had inherited. He was State Commissioner for the lease of oyster lands in 1 83 1 . His brother 
Dr. Elias Ogden^zs, of Natchez, Miss., having secured the title to "Barnet Hall," Dr. Oliver 
Wayne Ogden^ip returned to the estate, and for several years prior to his death gave up 
his very extensive medical practice, and devoted his time to his farm and the very fine mill 
on it. He died at "Barnet Hall" and was buried with his wife and several other members 
of the Ogden family in the family burying ground on the estate. At his death, his dau. 
Laura E. Ogdeni729, received the title to "Barnet Hall" from her uncle Dr. Elias Ogden.

Dr. Elias Ogden623 was born in Morris Co., N. J., and studied medicine with his tmcle 
Dr. Isaac Ogden243, at New Germantown, N. J., after which he removed to Port Gibson, 
Miss., where he built up a lucrative practice. While in Port Gibson, he married Mrs. Ann 
M. Lane, nee Routh, who owned one of the largest and finest plantations in that section 
of the country, lying in the suburbs of Natchez, Miss. Here he built an elegant residence 
called " Kenilworth, " retired from the active practice of his profession, and devoted himself 
to the care of the extensive estate belonging to his wife. 

Dr. Elias Ogden^^s accompanied Gen. Devereux to Bolivia, S. A., as surgeon, when 
the Bolivians were fighting for their independence. After the expedition returned to the 
U. S., Dr. Ogden settled upon his estate "Kenilworth" and retired from active life. 

The Rev. Joseph B. Stratton, of Natchez, wrote of him a few years ago: "I officiated 
at his burial. He was an estimable man, respected by the whole community; he died Feb. 
2, 1845, and was buried in the Routh Cemetery in the suburbs of Natchez. Mrs. Ogden 
died about the close of the war, at Berkley Springs, Va., where she is buried. They were both 
members of my church."

practice in Supreme Court of N. Y. In the war of 1812, he was appointed 
aide to Gen. Porter, and contracted intemperate habits, which continued 
many years, and nearly proved his ruin. In 181 8 he removed to Urbana, 
O., to practice law, and in 1820 married Harriet Hoisingden, but continued 
his downward career. "With great versatility of talent, a ready wit, and 
an almost exhaustless fund of anecdote, he had a sort of popularity with 
the town classes, even after he had reached a point of extreme moral 
degradation. 

"In 1830 his mind took a new direction; he abandoned his evil habits, 
professed faith, and became a member of the Meth. Epis. Church. Though 
regarded as a highly accomplished lawyer, he deemed it his duty to preach, 
and was licensed as a local. From 1833 to 1837 he was Principal of Norwalk 
Seminary, Ohio. In 1834 he was admitted to the Ohio Conference. He 
left the Seminary and labored by appointment of the Conference with great 
acceptance and success in Elyria, O., 1838, Tiffin, O., 1838-9, and Maumee 
City 1 84 1. 

"While at Tiffin his wife died, leaving him with two children, the young- 
est only a few weeks old. He second married, at Maumee City, the widow 
of Gen. Josiah Snelling, then late of the 5th Infantry, U. S. A., and daughter 
of Col. Thomas Hunt, another distinguished officer of the army. In 1842 
he was appointed principal of the branch of the State University at White 
Pigeon, Wis., and the college prospered under his administration. But under 
these labors his health gave way, and he resigned his place in the institution. 
He died Sept. 15, 1846, aged about 57. With his last breath he cried: 'AH 
is peace; all is glory.' 

"Before his conversion he seemed to have lost utterly all power of 
resistance to the craving for drink, and yet amidst it all there remained 
amiable and able traits of character. Unlike most inebriates he was always 
in good humor, and no man at any time doubted his stern integrity. Was 
never profane, vulgar or wicked in language, and was never known to speak 
an unkind word to his wife in his wildest moments of dissipation. After 
conversion he became a teniperance advocate, and his lectures on temperance 
were like a tempest, sweeping all before them, and scores were reclaimed. 
As a preacher he was energetic, impressive, eloquent and successful in win- 
ning souls. To the needy he was more likely to give the whole of his last 
loaf than half. Multitudes honored and revered him while living, and 
remembered him with gratitude and veneration." 

There were 2 children by his ist m. and none by the 2d m.

Tappan, of Northampton, Mass. 

Col. William EdwardsSt^ was apprenticed to his uncle CoL Oliver Spencer, who was 
at that time a tanner and currier at Elizabethtown, N. J. Col. Edwards introduced the 
system of tanning leather now used in nearly all the tanneries of the United States, which 
requires but about one-fourth of the time previously taken by the old European process. 

He removed from Elizabethtown to Northampton, Mass. where he built his first tannery. 
He sent his first leather to Boston in 1794. The hemlock bark having failed in the Con- 
necticut valley, he determined to utilize the vast hemlock forests of the Catskill Mts., and 
in 181 7 removed to Hunter, Green Co., N. Y. He erected his model tannery on Schoharie 
creek, from which he annually shipped 10,000 sides of sole-leather to the New York market. 
He invented many machines and appliances for the better production of leather, and made 
water-power lighten manual labor in many ways. The great success of American manu- 
facture of leather is to be traced directly to the improved methods first employed by Col. 
William Edwards^tz.

CoL. Joseph Jackson was born in a log house on the north bank of the Rockaway 
River, in Morris Co., N. J., about a mile above the present village of Rockaway. He was 
educated at the Morris Academy, where he specially studied French and surveying. 

There were but five houses in Rockaway at his birth, but by the establishment of various 
industries he became known as the founder of Rockaway village. He owned and operated 
the Rockaway grist-mill, saw-mill, a store, and two forges, beside other business enterprises. 
He was especially active in the mining and manufacture of iron, and entered a part- 
nership with his brother William Jackson, in operating a rolling mill at Paterson, N. J., 
and when the Government advertised, in 1820, for a sample 5-ton lot of round iron for the 
navy yard at Washington, the sample submitted by Jackson Brothers was accorded the 
best, and a contract was made with them for 200 tons. They were the first manufacturers 
in the U. S. to make rolled round iron.

away village, and was acting postmaster until removed by Pres. Tyler in 1843. Feb. 26, 
i8oi,he was made Major of ist Battalion, 3d Reg't, Morris Militia, and in 1804, Colonel of 
Reg't. He was in active service in the War of 181 2, but resigned his position in 181 7. He 
was a strong adherent of Gen. Jackson, but late in life became a Whig. 

He was Judge of the Common Pleas Court, Morris Co., from 1813 to 1832, and was 
a Ruling Elder of the Rockaway Presbyterian Church. For years before his death, he 
was sole owner of the Rockaway rolling mills, and had many profitable contracts with 
the Government.

Judge Elias B. Dayton Ogden902 was one of the most prominent of Gov. Aaron 
Ogden's children, and was born at Elizabethtown, N. J. He graduated at Princeton at 19 
years of age, and immediately began the study of law. He was licensed as an attorney in 
1824, as a counsellor in 1829, and was made Sergeant-at-Law in 1837, being the last lawyer 
in New Jersey who ever received that appointment. He began his legal career in Paterson, 
N. J., which at that time was a small, struggling town on the Passaic river, but which rose 
rapidly in importance from its growing factories. Dayton Ogden (as he was generally 
called) had many competitors in his chosen profession, but soon became an able advocate, 
and secured a large clientage. 

Paterson was then included in Essex Co. and its lawyers were obliged to attend court 
at Newark, the county-seat. Soon after receiving his counsellor's license, j^oung Ogden 
was appointed Prosecutor of the Pleas,«the inost important office of the kind in the state. 
In the prosecution of his duties he displayed great assiduity and unusual legal talents. The 
criminal business of the county was very large, requiring unusual labor and time, and 
obliged him to be in Newark four times during the year. But while Mr. Ogden always per- 
formed his whole duty as Counsel of the State, he succeeded in retaining all his private 
practice, and his numerous clients never complained of his inattention to their interests. 
This condition of affairs was the result of his great industry and care in the conscientious 
discharge of all his legal duties. He filled the office of Prosecutor for two terms. 

His political party early recognized his abilities, and twice elected him to the State 
Legislature. In 1844, when the best talent of the state was required irrespective of party 
affiliation, he was chosen a member of the Constitutional Convention.

He was appointed Associate Justice in 1848, and reappointed in 1855. At the expira- 
tion of his second term, Gov. Charles S. Olden, knowing the great worth of Mr. Ogden's 
legal talent, departed from the usual political procedure, and reappointed him, although of 
the opposite political faith, and thus did honor to Judge Ogden and to himself. 

His judicial opinions were rendered after full and careful examination, and were always 
regarded as sensible and just. Among them was one in which he denied the right of judges 
of a State court to interfere for the release of a prisoner held by the judgment of a Federal 
court. 

Judge Ogden was a man of sound judgment and sterling common sense; to his 
fellow members of the bar, he was genial and affable; as a judge he was painstaking and 
conscientious; and during his long term of office he enjoyed the respect and confidence of 
the whole community. At the expiration of his last term, he removed to Elizabeth, and 
occupied the homestead of his father. Gov. Aaron Ogden, where he was born, and where he 
died in 1865.

people instruction in vocal music, and led the choir in the Presbyterian meetings at the 
North Church and at Hamburg. His home was the house which Dr. Wm. H. Linn remodeled 
and occupied. While living here he lost several of his children by smallpox, which the

intellectual pursuits, and a man of unblemished character. He gathered extensive material 
for a family history, which was destroyed in the great fire of 1845. His genealogical record 
is obtained from the best sources, and is believed to be correct.

Judge Charles Jos. Ogden2447 was educated at Romain's Institute, 
New Orleans, and at an early age began the study of law. He was a bright 
student and passed an examination for admission to the bar before he was 
20. He remained in New Orleans but a short time after having qualified, 
and took up residence in Omaha, Neb., where he opened an extensive and 
lucrative practice. He became one of the ablest attorneys in the state, and 
was appointed Judge of the District Court at Omaha, serving three years 
with distinction. He resigned to attend to his large private practi^ce. No 
decision made while judge was ever reversed by the Supreme Court of the 
state. He was a lifelong Democrat, was leader of that party in his adopted 
state, and was one of the organizers of the National League of Democratic 
Clubs. He was a brilliant orator and made the opening speech at the Balti- 
more convention, having been elected chairman at the Hoffmann House, 
New York City, in 1888. Judge Ogden was chairman of the Dem. State 
Central Committee that elected James Boyd governor of Nebraska. When 
the latter was unseated, it was Judge Ogden that went to Washington and 
had him reinstated. He died suddenly of apoplexy, having practised law 
for nearly 30 yrs. He left no children.

He went to England and was soon ordered to India. He fought in the Afghan war of 
1878-80 with valor and distinction, for which he was made Captain in the "Prince of 
Wales' Own." He then served as Lieut. Colonel with the 5th Westmoreland. He after- 
ward retired from the army and settled in the Island of Guernsey, whence he removed to 
Alderney, and there spent the remainder of his life. 

His father-in-law, Maj. Gen. Boyd Saunders, was in command of the Bengal cavalry 
at Sealhote, N. W. India, when the mutiny of 1857 broke out. Through the faithfulness 
of a native servant, he and his family were hidden, and escaped the awful massacre. Their 
lives only were saved, as every thing they possessed was taken or destroyed by the maddened 
rebels. He was later appointed to assist in the trial of the rebel leaders.

Peter OGDEN1362 became, as his father Peter Skene Ogden before him. Chief Factor of 
the Hudson Bay Co. He inherited the best characteristics of his father, was fully trusted 
by the Company, and had the love and respect of the men under him, and the Indians with 
whom they traded. 

Phrisine Brabbant, who became his wife, was of a French-Canadian family, and was 
born at Edmonton, on the Saskatchewan River. A year after her decease, a son-in-law thus 
wrote: "God bless the noble, good, holy woinan, — my mother in name and deed. I was 
taken in hand by her as a wild, reckless lad just off the ocean, and she moulded me as she 
chose, although such a retiring woman. She w^as to me mother, mentor, director and ad- 
viser, and created an imperishable love and veneration in my heart." 

The following children were residents of British Columbia, and more or less connected 

with the Hudson Bay Co.: 

CHILDREN (Chart 34): 

2646. Peter Skene Ogden, b. 1844; d. Frazier Lake, unm., Oct., 1870. 

He was a clerk in the Hudson Bay Co. and was very popular with all 
who knew him. He possessed great strength, and was fond of athletic 
sports. His death was peculiarly sad. While hunting with some Indian com- 
panions, he followed the dogs in pursuit of a bear with such speed, he left his 
fellow-hunters far behind. When they came up, they found Peter and the 
lolling dogs lying on the ground beside the dead bear, awaiting their arrival. 
Being over-heated, he took a severe cold, from the effects of which he died a 
week later. The shock was so severe on his father that it caused his death, 
and both father and son were buried on the same day.

Capt. Duncan C. Ogdenmio was the son of Judge D. A. Ogden, of Ogdensburg, N. Y., 
the associate of Hon. Alexander Hamilton in the practice of law. He was born in New York 
City, but early in life located in New Orleans to engage in commercial pursuits with his 
uncle. The trouble between Texas and Mexico aroused his patriotism, and in the summer of 
1838 he went to Galveston and cast his lot with the new republic. He was at once appointed 
Captain in a new regiment called into service to resist a second invasion by Gen. Santa Anna. 
He commanded his company in the Cherokee War, and in the perilous expedition of Col. 
William G. Cook in running the military road from Red River to Austin. Capt. Ogden 
was in a number of murderous skirmishes with the Indians in behalf of his adopted state. 
At the Mexican invasion of San Antonio in 1842 he was taken prisoner by Gen. Adrian Wall 
and taken to Mexico, where he was confined in the Castle of Perote for eighteen months. 
He escaped with the other prisoners, but led by intense thirst to hazard his person, he was 
recaptured and sentenced to death. He was reprieved and through Cassius M. Clay was 
finally released. 

Being a man of intellectual strength and superior education, he was elected to Congress 
by a grateful people. He served his district in Washington with as great ability as in war, 
and upon the expiration of his term, retired to private life. He resided in San Antonio, 
where he died, universally beloved and respected. 

Elizabeth (Cox) Ogden was a native of Kentucky, but the family emigrated to Texas 
in 1829, when she was three years old. Her loyalty to Texas was as passionate as that of 
her husband. She was a "Daughter" both of the Republic and of the Confederacy, and was 
active in all their public functions in San Antonio. She was a woman of remarkable mental 
vigor and intelligence to the time of her death in her 78th year.

HENRY VINING OGDEN 

No. 1474 



(0tg]^t]^ (feneration 



George Parish Ogdeni473 was born at Waddington (formerly'Hainiltoii), St. Lawrence 
Co., N. Y. He was educated at the village school, Ogdensburg Academy, and by private 
tutors. He went to Quebec, Canada, in 1835, and resided there fifteen years, during which 
he made several voyages to England. In 1850 he removed to Troy, N. Y., where he was 
engaged in private banking and brokerage. In 1887 he removed from Troy to Boston, 
where he resided until his death.

Briggs, b. Jan. 27, 1825; dau. of Edmund Briggs and Hannah Killingly 
Walford, his wife. 

Henry Vining Ogden 1474 was born at Waddington, St. Lawrence Co., N. Y. His 
father, Gouverneur Ogden 451, early in life saw the vast possibilities of the wild and romantic 
region of the Adirondacks, and determined to aid in its development. He engaged in the 
erection of mills and furnaces, and built a mansion called "Ellerslie" at Waddington, where 
his large family of children were born. The father, being a graduate of Columbia College, 
New York, naturally desired that his sons should receive a liberal education. 

Henry Vining Ogden was sent to the Vermont Episcopal Institute, Burlington, then 
under the supervision of the Rt. Rev. John Henry Hopkins, Prot. Epis. Bishop of N. Y. 
While thus preparing for college, the great financial panic of 1837 occurred, which caused 
the failure of his father in business. His college education being frustrated, and with an 
ambition to make his own livelihood, he decided upon entering commercial life. He went 
to Montreal, Canada, and entered the commission and grain exporting house of J. & T. 
Gordon. His clerkship here unfolded his native powers, and gained for him that spirit of 
self-reliance which so largely contributed to his later success in the business world, and 
which brought his services in greater demand. 

Believing that greater possibilities awaited him in the West, he left Montreal via the 
Great Lakes, and travelled as far as Cleveland, O., whence he crossed the state to the Ohio 
River and arrived at St. Louis by water, in Aug., 1843. He quickly found employment as 
levee and forwarding clerk in the large commission house of Jas. E. Woodruff & Co., one of 
the members of which was Edward K. Collins, of New York, the projector and part owner 
of the Collins Line of ocean steamers. In 1847 he saw brighter prospects in the South, and 
despite the prevalence of yellow fever in New Orleans, he decided to go to the latter city. 
With an enlarged business experience, he readily secured a position with Kelly & Conyng- 
ham, a large commission cotton, sugar and tobacco house, the firm also being financial 
agents of several banking houses of Kentucky. In the spring of 1848 he was taken with 
yellow fever, but happily recovered, becoming fully acclimated. In 1851 he accepted the 
unsolicited position of bookkeeper and assistant cashier in the general agency of The Sun 
Mutual Insurance Co. of New York. The advancing business of fire-underwriting had become 
important, and was in the line of Mr. Ogden's business tastes. While thus engaged in 1854, 
he unexpectedly was offered the resident secretaryship of The Liverpool and London and 
Globe Ins. Co., Southern Dept., with headquarters and local Board of Directors in New 
Orleans. Recognizing this as an all-important opening, he accepted the position. The 
business was prosperous until the breaking out of the Civil War, and when New Orleans 
surrendered to the Federal fleet in 1862, Mr. Ogden cast his lot with the Southern cause, be- 
lieving the North had not the right to coerce the South to relinquish her slaves without due 

[20] 305

compensation, and entered the Confederate service. He sent his family North in i860, and 
as a member of 5th Co. Washington Artillery of New Orleans, served with great devotion 
during the entire struggle. He participated in seventeen pitched battles, was in numerous 
skirmishes, and had four horses killed under him, but himself escaped personal injury. As 
a soldier, he was cool in emergency, unflinching in courage, and was ever animated by a 
Christian spirit and devotion to duty. His record had the entire approval of his officers, 
and he was honorably discharged and duly paroled at the close of the war. His wife and 
family rejoined him after a separation of five years. 

When Mr. Ogden returned to New Orleans in May, 1865, he found the L. L. and G. Ins. 
Co. had felt constrained to appoint another resident secretary in his place; but he was 
offered, and accepted, the secretaryship of The Crescent Mutual Ins. Co. of New Orleans. 
While thus employed, in 1872, Mr. Ogden was notified by the British Foreign Office of his 
appointment as acting British Consul at New Orleans, pending the arrival of a new incum- 
bent. He discharged the duties of the Consulate with such satisfaction to the Foreign 
Office for five months, it signified its appreciation of the important services rendered by 
Mr. Ogden in the following letter: 

"Foreign Office, 

"May 21, 1872. 

"Sir: I am directed by Earl Granville to inform you that the Secretary of State for the 
Colonies has acquainted His Lordship that Mr. Ogden, while Acting British Consul at New 
Orleans, was of great service to the Governor at British Honduras in matters connected 
with its postal arrangements of that Colony; and I am to instruct you to inform Mr. Ogden 
that Lord Granville has received with satisfaction this testimony of the zeal evinced by him 
while temporarily in charge of Her Majesty's Consulate. 

"I am, Sir 

"&c. &c. &c. 

(Signed) "E. Hammond. 
"To Albany Fonblanque, Esq^ 

"&c. &c." 

At a meeting of the citizens of New Orleans on Jan. 28, 1870, it was resolved to send a 
delegation of seventy citizens to Washington to confer with President Grant concerning 
the very dangerously disturbed political conditions existing in the city of New Orleans, 
largely consequent upon the enfranchisement of the negro. Mr. Ogden was one of the fifty 
or more delegates who accepted and went. Upon arriving at Washington, the delegation 
soon arranged an interview with the President. On that occasion, the Hon. John 
A. Campbell, ex-Justice of the U. S. Supreme Court, acted as spokesman, and clearly 
placed and explained the political conditions obtaining in New Orleans to President Grant 
and the U. S. Attorney General, Geo. H. Williams, who was present throughout the inter- 
view. Subsequently, the delegation were twice before the Senate Committee on Privileges 
and Elections, Senators Matthew H. Carpenter and Levi P. Morton presiding on the different 
occasions. The foregoing incident shows the high esteem and confidence reposed in Mr. 
Ogden by his fellow citizens. 

In 1879, the resident secretary of the Southern Dep't of the Liverpool and London and 
Globe Ins. Co., who had been appointed in Mr. Ogden's place, suddenly died, and, with many 
others, he applied for the position. His reappointment was very gratifying to Mr. Ogden, 
as well as being a high compliment from his old company. 

In 1893, ^"d when 70 years of age, he sufi"ered a stroke of apoplexy, accompanied by 
paralysis of the left side. He partially recovered from this, but had a second attack in 1895 
and felt the necessity of resigning his secretaryship, to take effect Dec. 31, 1896. He was 

306

Ctgi^t]^ (0eneration 



the first manager appointed by any foreign company having a department and headquarters 
in the South, and is today (July, 1903) the oldest survivor of the old fire-underwriting 
regime in the city of New Orleans. For the few past years, Mr. Ogden has resided in Mil- 
waukee, Wis., going there from New Orleans in May, 1896. 

Politically, Mr. Ogden was originally an old line Whig; consequently he had natural 
predilections for the Republican party; but a candid study of the political situation at the 
opening of the Civil War led him to fully espouse the Southern cause. The political condi- 
tions prevailing in Louisiana after the war confirmed his opinions, and he acted till late 
years with the Democratic party. Mr. Ogden always had a candid and unprejudiced judg- 
ment, and the following excerpt of a recent letter to a friend is apropos here, and character- 
istic of the man: "I felt badly when the Confederacy went down. Now I am sure the resolu- 
tion of the Northern people that human slavery should be destroyed, and the Union should 
be maintained, successfully carried out, was the greatest tribute ever paid the Anglo-Saxon 
race. " 

Mr. Ogden is a member of the Protestant Episcopal Church. For more than thirty 
years he had been Secretary of the Standing Committee of the Diocese of Louisiana; for 
aboixt fifty years a member of the Vestry of Trinity Church, New Orleans; and for twenty- 
five years successively Junior and Senior Warden. Trinity Church has given six Bishops 
from among its rectors to the church at large, and Mr. Ogden's close association with these 
devoted and distinguished men furnished him with rare privileges for extended and liberal 
cvalture. 

He has long been actively identified with the charitable work of New Orleans. He 
responded to the first call to organize the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, 
and was made member of the first Board of Directors; was President of the Sunday League, 
the first organization in New Orleans for the better observance of the Sabbath, — the Society 
being active today; w^as President of the Society for the Indigent Blind, for which much 
money was collected for a suitable building and its equipment, which were passed over 
to the control of the state when the latter agreed to maintain the institution. For over 
thirty years Mr. Ogden was Director and Treasurer of the largely endowed orphan 
asylum known as the Society for Indigent Protestant Boys; was a member of the Board 
of Commissioners of the Fink Home for Protestant Widows and Orphans, another largely 
endowed institution. 

"Upon resigning his position with The Liverpool and London and Globe Ins. Co. in 
1896, and so severing a connection dating back forty-three years, the officials of the company 
signified their appreciation of his long service by voting him a pension for life, quite in accord 
with their well-known reputation for liberality, so that a connection beginning long ago 
will virtually end only with his death."

its massive walls remain standing to recall the historic past. John Greig Ogden was 
educated at the Vermont Episcopal Institute, after which he studied law in New York. 
Soon after graduation he turned his attention to commercial life. He was long time resident 
of Albany, N. Y., where he died of heart failure.

2859. GouvERNEUR MoRRis Ogden, Jr., Esq., b. 1857; d. Feb. 11, 1895. 

He was educated at Harvard, but ill health prevented him from taking 
his degree. He was afterward graduated from Columbia College Law School, 
and as member of the Bar. His chiefs were Judge Lacombe and Judge 
Beekman, and he did excellent work for the city in the office of the Cor- 
poration Counsel. For five years previous to his death, Mr. Ogden was the 
Secretary of the Committee of Counsel of the Lawyers' Title Insurance Co. 
In this position he rendered very efficient service, and the Company sus- 
tained a heavy loss in his death. Mr. Ogden was by nature kind, gentle 
and amiable, and, doubtless because of these qualities, few men in New 
York City had so large a number of friends.

Smith Mead, b. Feb. 6, 1811; d. July 16, 1888; son of Alan Mead, 
of Walton, N. Y. 

Gabriel S. Mead succeeded his father, Alan Mead, in the tanning business at Walton, 
N. Y. The latter was one of the pioneer settlers of Walton, and about 1803 opened a tan- 
nery for general business. In 1810 he purchased the large tannery of John and Nathaniel 
Steele, and in 181 5 introduced an improved process of grinding bark. Gabriel S. and his 
brother John succeeded their father in the business, and in 1842 built a more extensive 
tannery on "West Brook," Walton, which was burned in 1857, but rebuilt in 1858, when 
Mead, North & Co. became the firm name. 

His wife, Eliza Ann Irene (Ogden) Meadis66^ was a prominent woman socially, and 
possessed rare and beautiful virtues. Her mental activities and general interest in public 
affairs are shown by a diary which she kept open from her school days. Her house was the 
rallying point in the projecting of important plans for the good of the community, and where 
peace was made between contending factions. Modest and retiring, but broad-minded and 
benevolent, she was the centre and inspiration of all good works in both church and com- 
munity. She responded to every appeal of charity, and her cheerful presence was greatly 
appreciated in the homes of sickness and distress. Her tender nursings, timely counsels 
and general helpfulness endeared her to all classes, and her death was regarded as a public 
calamity.

1802; d. Dec. 13, 1897; son of Medad Butler and Hannah Tylee, his wife. 

Charles Butler, LL.D., was born at Kinderhook Landing (now Stuyvesant), Columbia 
Co., N. Y., and lived to be nearly 96 years of age, having used glasses and a cane but a short 
time before his death, although his life was despaired of from pulmonary troubles 60 years 
prior to the end. He also successfully resisted an attack of pneumonia but a year before his 
death, and closed his long, useful and honorable career in great peace at his home, 78 Park 
Ave., New York City. 4 

Dr. Butler's mother was a lineal descendant of Oliver Cromwell., He received his 
early education in the district school at Kinderhook, and subsequently entered Greenville 
Academy, Greenville, N. Y. After leaving that institution, he studied law with Martin 
Van Buren, and was admitted to the bar in 1824. He began his legal practice in Geneva, 
N. Y., where he obtained large loans on bond and mortgage for many farmers who were 
suffering from lack of capital. In 1825, a few years after the Erie Canal was opened, 
which he actively sought to promote, he foresaw the vast possibilities of future western 
commerce, and while stopping in the little village of Chicago, then numbering but 200 in- 
habitants, he predicted the little Lake village was destined to become the largest inland 
city of America. In 1835 he induced his brother-in-law, WiUiam B. Ogden, to take up 
residence there, and himself became heavily interested in the Michigan Southern, Chicago 
and Rock Island, and Chicago and Northwestern railroads. 

As a young man he was a personal friend of John Jacob Astor, and induced the great 
millionaire to invest money in the development of the country about Geneva, where he 
was at the time practising law. He was a warm friend of Samuel J. Tilden, and was as- 
sociated with him in many legal battles. He successfully fought the repudiation movement 
in Indiana. He enjoyed the firm friendship of several great literary men, as James Anthony 
Froude and Matthew Arnold, and received many personal letters from Thomas Carlyle. 
During the great theological battle between the General Assembly of the Presbyterian 
Church, and Dr. Briggs and the Union Theological Seminary, Dr. Butler was a tower of 
strength for Dr. Briggs and the more liberal thought he represented.

Dr. Butler went to New York City in 1 834, and became an active member of the Council 
of New York University. He and his wife, EHza Abigail (Ogden) Butleris??, helped to found 
the Protestant Half Orphan Asylum and also the Union Theological Seminary. In 1836 
he took a seat in the Council of New York University, and was made President of the Council 
in 1849, but resigned upon going abroad. He was again made President in 1886. 

The Wabash University conferred upon him the degree of LL.D. in 1853, ^^^ later 
the New York University did the same; although he was eminently qualified, he had no 
penchant for titles and preferred the plain address. He was one of the founders of the Union 
League Club, a member of the Century Association, Sons of the Revolution, New England 
Society, American Fine Arts Society, Metropolitan Museum of Arts, and American Museum 
of Natural History. 

His splendid philanthropy, his eminence as a lawyer, and his fine qualities of man- 
hood made him a conspicuous and beloved citizen for very many years. Dr. Butler made 
many generous gifts to charitable and educational institutions, the most important being 
an endowment of $100,000 which he gave in Mar., 1890, to found the Edward Robinson Chair 
of Biblical Theology of the Union Theological Seminary, and at the same time $100,000 
to New York University in memory of his son, Abraham Ogden Butler, and his elder brother, 
Benjamin Franklin Butler, who was Attorney-General in the Cabinet of Andrew Jackson. 

He enjoyed a remarkably successful birthday anniversary in completing his 93d year. 
His many friends of all ages surrounded the hospitable table at his home, and the ninety- 
three brightly-burning candles could hardly impress the minds if his friends with the actual 
length of his days, because of his physical vigor, active mind, and very great joy of soul. 
Full of years, honors, riches, and with the profoundest love and esteem of a multitude of 
friends, his unselfish and benevolent life ended in great comfort and peace. His body, was 
interred in Woodlawn Cemetery, and upon his monument occur these well-chosen words: 
"Loving and devoted in every relation of life, large-hearted, liberal, patriotic and devout, 
a leader in civic and Christian efforts for the public good."

Mahlon Dickerson OGDEN1581 was born in Walton, N. Y., and named for his father's 
personal friend, Hon. Mahlon Dickerson, Governor of New Jersey. He was graduated from 
Hobart College, Geneva, N. Y., and studied law in the office of Chief-Justice Swain, at Colum- 
bus, O. In 1837 he went to Chicago, formed a partnership with Hon. Isaac N. Arnold, 
and finally entered the firm afterward known as Ogden, Sheldon & Co. He was the legal 
member of the firm to advise in regard to titles, etc., in the large land deals of those days. 

He possessed a very high character as a business man, and his genial disposition and 
amiable qualities of mind and heart won for him a host of friends in both private and public 
life. The high order of his business qualifications made him a valued and influential citizen. 
He purchased the block just north of Washington Park, and there built his residence. 
Surrounded by heavy shrubbery, it was the only building left untouched by the great 
Chicago fire of 187 1 on the North Side, in the long stretch from the river to Lincoln Park. 
He later took up residence in the suburb of Elmhurst. 

He was successful in his business ventures, and his death was mourned by a large circle 
of representative commercial and public men of Chicago. His funeral was held at St. James' 
Episcopal Church, North Side, which was crowded with an earnest and devout assembly. 
The services were conducted by the Rt. Rev. Bishop Clarkson of Nebraska, who had been 
rector of "old St. James' " at a time when the Ogden family were prominent members of that 
congregation. Bishop McLaren was present, but being ill, took no part in the services. 
Bishop Clarkson paid a glowing tribute to the worth of Mr. Ogden, the high position he had 
held in the development of the city, and the great loss sustained by the people of Chicago. 
The pall-bearers were Messrs. E. C. Earned, Henry W. King, E. Y. Watkins, W. H. Bradley, 
George M. Higginson, E. S. Chesbrough, Judge Thomas Drummond and Hon. Isaac N. 
Arnold. The remains were deposited in the family vault in "Graceland, " where the singing 
of "Nearer, my God, to Thee," "Rock of Ages," and "Lead, Kindly Light," ended the 
solemn and impressive services.

Emily Butler Ogdenis82 was born in Walton, N. Y., and had the advantages of the 
educational institutions of her early life. As might be expected of one of the ancestry from 
which she descended, she well maintained the standard of a clear, firm mind and a strong 
character which distinguished the Ogden family for centuries, and of which she and all her 
sisters and brothers were remarkable examples. 

She was a woman of splendid presence, and possessed the highest type of the social 
and Christian graces. She was eminently high-minded and right-minded in all her relations 
in life, was respected by all who knew her, and was best loved and appreciated by those who 
knew her best. She was the type of all that is finest in woman, and was so wise and calm 
in her judgment, that her decision on any subject was never disputed by any of her family. 
She was noted throughout all her large family connection for her wonderful control of 
children, all obeying her immediately, and without any punishment. Her brother-in-law, 
Mr. Butler, who knew her intimately for fifty-seven years, said her self-control was so great 
that he had never known her to speak sharply or impatiently. 

Emily Butler Ogden's strength of judgment and poise of character are readily ex- 
plained by that dominant factor of her ancestry — strength of intellect. It is an interesting 
fact, and illustrative of hereditary law, that an unusual number of the descendants of John 
Ogden, of Elizabethtown, were teachers, lawyers, judges, governors, military men, and state 
and national legislators; all the learned professions have been well represented. In peace 
and in war, they have always been found in the fore-rank, maintaining their strong intel- 
lectual, social and moral prestige. 

Judge Nelson Knox Wheeler was the eldest son of William Wheeler, of New 
London, Conn., and Eleanor Knox, his wife, of Blanford, Mass., daughter of WilHam Knox, 
and granddaughter of Capt. William Knox, of the war of the Revolution. Gen. Henry 
Knox, of Revolutionary fame, was of the same family. 

Nelson Knox Wheeler was born in Blanford, Mass., and when six weeks old the 
parents removed to Partridge Id., on the east branch of the Delaware River, the babe Nelson 
being carried by his mother on horseback the entire i 50 miles to the town of Hancock, N. Y. 
The hills of the Delaware surrounding their forest home were covered by a dense growth 
of heavy pine timber, and here the father engaged in the manufacture of lumber and the 
running of rafts to the Philadelphia market. After a residence of about ten years in Hancock, 
the family removed northward to Deposit, Delaware Co., N. Y., in the year 1814, where Mr. 
Wheeler united with WilHam Butler and Silas Crandall in buying the entire tract of land 
comprising the present portion of Deposit lying in Broome Co., a few village lots having 
been previously purchased. The west boundary line described in the deed of conveyance 
was "a line of marked trees" and now the county line in the village between Delaware and 
Broome Counties. 

There were few inhabitants in Deposit at that early day. There was one public house 
or "tavern, " one or two stores, one school-house, but no church. It was here at the district 
school that Nelson K. Wheeler began his education. In due time he and his older sister 
were sent to an academy at Oxford, Chenango Co., for one year. From Oxford, he entered 
the Cortland Academy, Homer, N. Y., where he prepared for college. Thence he entered 
Hamilton College one year in advance and remained two years, when he matriculated at 
Union College, and graduated in 1828. 

Having chosen the legal profession, he studied law in the office of Samuel Sherwood, 
Esq., in Delhi, N. Y., and began its practice there in 1832 in partnership with the Hon. 
Noadiah Johnson, who was then a Member of Congress. After the death of Mr. Johnson, 
he formed a partnership with his brother, Truman H. Wheeler, Esq., under the law firm of 
"N. K. & T. H. Wheeler," which existed until 1849. 

Nelson Knox Wheeler was married to Emily Butler Ogden'sSa in Walton, N. Y., 
by the Rev. Mr. Maxwell, of the Scotch Pres. Church of Delhi. The accompanying illus- 

[21] 321 



€:i^c €>9Den jfamtl^ 



trations are of the quaint doorway and hall of the Walton house and of the old Colonial 
mantel and closet of the room in which the marriage ceremony was performed. They 
estabhshed their home in Delhi, where two sons and three daughters were born to them, 



and in 1849 they removed to Deposit. 




Here they resided upon a large estate they 
named "Laurel Bank Farm," and the two 
youngest children, daughters, were added to 
the household. 

While in Delhi, Mr. Wheeler was for one 
term District Attorney of the county, and was 
Judge and Surrogate one term. He was the 
first Judge of the Court of Common Pleas under 
the old system, and during his incumbency 
occurred the notorious "Anti-rent " troubles 
of the county. He was twice elected member 
of the State Legislature, and served with dis- 
tinction. 

In 1865 he went west to attend to the 
foreclosure of a railroad mortgage in Illinois 
and Wisconsin, and to take part in the reor- 
ganizing of the Chicago, St. Paul & Fond du Lac 

R.R. Co. After spending 
a few years in the West, 
he returned to his family 
in Deposit. He still re- 
tained his law practice, 
but his time was largely 
employed in the super- 
vision of his extensive 
farm lands. He later 
accepted the office of 
Deputy Collector of Cus- 
toms in New York City, 
under Collector Hiram 
Barney, which office he 
held for several years, 
and until appointed by 
the Mayor and Board of 



_r Vtslof Ma.i\1iel 



Aldermen of New York as Police Justice for a term of ten years, commencing Jan. i, 1874. 
He held this office to the time of his death, Sept. 21, 1880. He wasinterred in Laurel Hill 
Cemetery, Deposit, N. Y.

NO. 2971, WILLIAM OGDEN WHEELER. 

William Ogden Wheeler=97i was born in Delhi, Delaware Co., N Y Oct 14 18^7 
and died in New York City, Jan. 27, 1900. ' ' • '^' 3 7. 

When about twelve years of age, his parents removed from Delhi to Deposit in the 
same county, where the family had long held large landed possessions; his grandfather 
Wilham Wheeler, havmg been one of three purchasers of a large tract of forest land the 
western boundary of which is described in the deed as "a line of marked trees " and which 
afterward became the dividing line between Broome and Delaware Counties. A portion of 
this origmal purchase has ever since been in the possession of the family. 

Deposit, the Indian name of which is "Oquaga," was originally in Delaware County 
a part of the village also being in Broome; the population having increased more rapidlv 
m the latter, it is now officially called in Broome Co. 

Here the early years of William O. Wheeler were passed. His health, always dehcate 
deprived him of his full share of the enjoyments common to that delightful period of life' 
He loved to excel in any sport or undertaking, and doubtless the fact that he could not fully 
join m the rough-and-tumble sports of his more robust companions caused him many un 
happy hours. This love of excellence seems to have been born in him and to have followed 
him through life. Anything that was worth doing at all, was with him worth doing well 
and he had little patience with any one who attempted to excuse half-way work of 
any kind. -^ 

Delicate health also deprived him of the advantages of a college education- but private 
tutors, a love for reading, keen powers of observation, and a wonderfully retentive memorv 
so made up for this, that it was never missed. 

When about twenty years of age he for a time managed his father's farm "Laurel 
Bank," but this not proving a congenial occupation, he went to Chicago and entered the 
employ of his uncle, William B. Ogden^srs. About this time Mr. Ogden had purchased the 
residence near High Bridge, N. Y., known as "Villa Boscobel," on which he contemplated 
making alterations and improvements. This work he entrusted to his nephew William 
Ogden Wheeler, and the result was another proof of the far-sightedness of that far-sighted 
man. Mr. Wheeler found this work thoroughly congenial, and his natural taste for 
landscape gardening was fully gratified in seeing the results of his own planning develop into 
the thing of beauty which "Boscobel" became. 

_ After the completion of this work, Mr. Wheeler travelled for a number of years 
visiting other countries, as well as becoming better acquainted with his own In 1882 he 
purchased the Judge Sterling property in Sharon, Conn., which, after improving and 
beautifying, he named "Sterhng Elm, " in honor of the magnificent elm tree standing guard 
at the entrance,-one of the largest, if not the largest and most beautiful elm in the state 
01 Connecticut. 

Here he delighted to entertain his friends and acquaintances. On one occasion, when 
t^eneral Sherman was to be his guest, he invited his neighbors to come and shake the 
General by the hand, an invitation that was accepted not only by his Sharon neighbors 
but by those from adjoining towns. Hundreds were present, yet such an adept in the art 
of entertaining was Mr. Wheeler, that the affair passed off without a hitch. Every grade 
of society was represented, and perhaps Mr. Wheeler's faculty for making all in his 
house feel equally at home was never more severely tested, yet each one at parting was 
made to feel that he had done his host a personal favor by partaking of his hospitality and 
helping him make the visit of his illustrious guest a pleasant one. 

323 



Ci^c C>gt)cn family 



For several years before his death, WiUiam B. Ogden had interested himself in gene- 
alogy, intending to trace his family back to the original immigrant. Being a very busy man 
it was more in the nature of recreation with him than otherwise ; yet his wide acquaintance 
gave him an advantage that enabled him to gather a mass of genealogical information, only 
to be lost forever at the burning of his Chicago home at the time of the great fire there. A 
few notes, mostly made from memory, were all that remained at the time of his death in 1877. 

With this slender genealogical capital as his only stock in trade, Mr. Wheeler now set 
out to complete the work his uncle had begun, — that of making an Ogden Genealogy that 
should begin with the founder of the family in America, and end with the latest known 
descendant. It is doubtful if he realized the magnitude of this self-imposed task, and yet 
he may have, for as difficulties began to develop he seemed the more determined to over- 
come them. That nothing might stand in the way, he gave up his home in Sharon to his 
sister, Mrs. A. C. McClurg, and opened an office in Morristown, N. J., which seemed to be 
the most advantageous point to work from. He now gave his own time to tabulating the 
results of searches made under his direction, not only in the States, but in Canada as well; 
also some correspondence was had with searchers in England. No expense was spared, and 
no amount of time or effort was considered too great to accomplish what he had undertaken. 

His perseverance and patience were a revelation to those employed by him in the work. 
When a searcher came in empty-handed, as was often the case, he would say in his cheery 
way: "The next best thing to finding what you are looking for, is to find out where it cannot 
be found; it narrows the search just that much." 

While the Ogden work was under way, Mrs. Tiffany, Mr. Wheeler's sister, became 
interested in tracing the ancestry of her grandmother, Eleanor (Knox) Wheeler. This he 
found time to assist her in, and succeeded in tracing the line back to William Knox, 
brother of John Knox, the reformer. It was Mr. Wheeler's intention to follow out and 
complete this line as soon as the Ogden work was done. But while "Man proposes, God 
disposes." His health, never of the best, began to give way. Several years of steady 
application to this brain-racking work had so impaired his nervous system, that symptoms 
began to develop which he dared not disregard. 

Reluctantly he left his work to another, and spent a winter in the South. For several 
years he had been practically homeless, and he began to feel that home was the place for 
him now. Accordingly he purchased the so-called Taylor property in Sharon, adjoin- 
ing "Sterling Elm" on the north, to which, after some necessary repairs and alterations, 
he came and settled down for rest and recuperation. But the spirit was upon him; he wanted 
to be in closer touch with the work. The office in Morristown was closed and the work 
continued in Sharon, mostly by letter, often from dictation, and always by his direction, 
up to the day of his going to New York City to attend the funeral of his sister, Mrs. Tiffany, 
a journey from which he never returned. In a few short weeks both brother and sister 
were sleeping in beautiful Woodlawn Cemetery, there to rest "until the day dawns, and the 
shadows flee away." 

Thus in brief outline is the life of William Ogden Wheeler traced. The character 
of the man, that which endeared him to so many, and which caused such sincere mourning 
when he died, has hardly been touched upon, nor can it be more than touched upon in 
the space of an article like this. The obligations under which he has placed the Ogdens and 
allied families in rescuing their history from fast perishing records, and placing them in 
permanent form for preservation can neither be estimated nor appreciated. Beginning at 
a time when genealogical pursuits had only begun to excite the interest they have since 
attained, he found little to encourage, and much to discourage him from persevering as he 
did. It was his beloved mother's ancestry he was tracing. His mother's brother, William 
B. Ogden, whom he also loved and honored, had begun it, when death cut short his efforts. 
It seemed left to Mr. Wheeler to carry the work forward, or it might never be done.

WILLIAM OGDEN WHEELER'S WORKSHOP 

Where material for this Genealogy was collected 



€i%]^t]^ (13eneration 



This was enough for him to know. It was his work now, and he did it, and doubtless he 
shortened his life in the doing of it. 

This was one characteristic of William O. Wheeler, — to do with his might whatever 
he believed was his to do. Another characteristic, and one which so wound itself about 
all others that it can hardly be treated by itself, was his affectionate nature. His love for 
his friends was a ruling passion with him. Mention has already been made of his fondness 
for entertaining, a thing commonly done for the pleasure derived from doing it. Not so 
with Mr. Wheeler. One who knew him well can testify, he was never happier than when 
planning happiness for others, and the better he succeeded in doing this, the greater was the 
satisfaction he derived from it. In all this he was ably seconded by his personal attendant, 
Peter Rasmussen, a giant in stature, with a heart in proportion to his size, and almost as 
widely known as Mr. Wheeler himself. 

Mr. Wheeler's condition of health demanded just such service as Peter could give; 
strong of heart as well as of hand and withal as gentle as a little child, his equal in the sick- 
room was difficult to find. His attachment for Mr. Wheeler was phenomenal, and so 
necessary to each had the other become, that nothing short of the death of one or the 
other was expected to part them. Yet when loved friends came to need such care as Peter 
was peculiarly fitted to bestow, he was allowed to go and to remain as long as earthly assist- 
ance was of use to that friend. 

To illustrate the unselfish kindness of Mr. Wheeler, one incident of many known 
to the writer may be mentioned. Two old ladies of education and refinement, but whose 
income called for the closest economy, were invited to spend a summer at his home 
in Sharon. Knowing their aversion to accepting charity, he so disguised the invita- 
tion that it had the appearance of a business proposition. Mr. Wheeler had to go away 
for the summer, and would they do him the favor of coming to Sharon and keeping his 
horses exercised and entertaining any who might call during his absence? They accepted 
the invitation and spent a summer full of enjoyment, such as they had long been strangers 
to. They drove all about the country, entertained and were entertained, made many 
pleasant acquaintances, and whatever thoughts they may have had of the future, they did 
not allow them to sadden the joys of the present. They were children again, without a 
care in the world, happy in the thought they were doing their good friend a kindness, and 
without a suspicion that their good friend was knocking about from place to place, waiting 
for the time when he could return to his own comfortable home without cutting short the 
happy times they were having. When Mr. Wheeler returned, and the old ladies went back, 
it was to a home made brighter, not alone by recollections of the delightful outing they 
had enjoyed, but by a substantial sum of money which he insisted was only a fair equiva- 
lent for the service they had rendered. 

There are many charitable people, many whose hearts go out to those who suffer and 
are in need, but there are few who put themselves to personal inconvenience in order that 
others may be happy and comfortable. 

Instances like the foregoing are many, though this is the only one it seems best to men- 
tion. What he did was done in a manner to attract the least notice to himself, and yet give 
the greatest comfort to those benefited by his generosity. It is only fair to state, however, 
that this trait was inherited, and is one for which the family have been noted for generations, 
though perhaps none ever carried it to finer points than he. 

His charity did not take the form of endowing churches or colleges, nor is it known 
that he gave to foreign missions. He chose to relieve present needs rather than to provide 
for possible needs of the future, and in so doing he many times accomplished both. 

In writing a biography of Mr. Wheeler, one is hampered by the recollection of his 
aversion to having his acts of charity spoken of. Otherwise many things could be mentioned 
that would clearly show the unselfish nature of all his charitable acts. In his own quiet 



325

way he sought opportunities of sharing with those less fortunate the benefits wealth had 
bestowed upon him. How many hearts he made happier, and how many burdens he made 
lighter may never be known. His most intimate friends knew only by chance, for he ful- 
filled the injunction, "Let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth. " 

If this book had been finished in his day little, if any, mention would have been found 
in it of his long and patient labor upon it, which it is now the writer's happy privilege to 
acknowledge. T V A 

REV. CHARLES COMFORT TIFFANY, D.D. 

The subject of this mention was a graduate of Dickinson College, Pa., and studied for 
the ministry at Andover Theological Seminary. During the last year of the Civil War he

"Mr. Edwin H. Sheldon, who died on Thursday, Dec. i8, 1890, at the house of his 
niece, 293 Madison Ave., in the sixty-eighth year of his age, was born in Delhi, Delaware Co., 
N. Y. He there studied law in the office of Erastus Root, an eminent lawyer and politician, 
and was admitted to the bar. 

"He married the youngest daughter of Mr. Abraham Ogden, of Walton, N. Y., and in 
1849 removed with her to Chicago, where he became associated with his brother-in-law, 
the late Mr. William B. Ogden, in the large land office still existing under the name of 
Ogden, Sheldon & Co. 

"He always took an active interest in the moral as well as the material interests of 
his adopted city, where his integrity and capability in business brought him into many 
positions of responsibility and trust. 

"His purity of character and good judgment, combined with a genial disposition, and 
refined tastes which gave him unfailing enjoyment in nature and books, made him a delight- 
ful and valued companion." 

He built a beautiful memorial chapel at Delhi, N. Y. (St. John's Prot. Episcopal), as 

a tribute to the worth of his parents. It was dedicated May 23, 1890, by the Bishop of 

Albanv.

only child. In 1810, and when she was 12 years of age, her father sold his farm and invested 
the proceeds in heavily-timbered land near Worthington, O. It was here she was married 
to RoswELL R. Chapman, by whom she bore 5 children. Her second husband. Dr. Arius 
KiLBOURNE, was a dentist, and also of Worthington, but originally from Connecticut. After 
the latter's death she resided with her son, Albert S. Chapman, in Marysville, O., where she 
spent the last two and a half years of her life, dying of dropsy of the heart. She was "a 
highly esteemed member of the Presbyterian Church, and her daily walk verified her Christian 
life. Mrs. Kilbourne was a lady of uncommon vitality, having never been sick a day 
till her last sickness. She was one of the old pioneers who witnessed the turning of the

1792. Samuel Edison, Jr. (Samuel"^ Sarah Ogden'^T, SamueP^ 
Swaine'3^David3, John^),b. Aug. 16, 1804; d. Feb. 26, 1896; istm. Sept. 12, 
1828, Nancy Elliott, b. Jan. 4, 1810; d. Apr. 9, 1871; 2d m. Mary 
Sharlow, b. Feb. 12, 1854. 

Samuel Edison, Jr. 1792, came of good old Dutch stock, his ancestry being traced back 
for 200 years, when they were extensive millers in Holland. Members of the family emigrated 
to America in 1730, and settled in New Jersey and on Manhattan Island. One Thomas 
Edison was a prominent banker in New York during the Revolution, and his name appears 
on the Continental money of that period. The Edisons are a long-lived family, and of strong, 
athletic build. Samuel Edison, Jr., was 6 ft. 2 in. in height, and in 1868, when 64 yrs. old, 
outjumped 250 men belonging to a regiment stationed at Ft. Gratiot, Mich. His father 
lived to be 98 yrs. of age, and his grandfather died at 102. 

Samuel Edison, Jr. 1792, was bom in Digby, Nova Scotia, his father's family having 
moved from New Jersey when the father, Samuel, Sr., was a lad. In early life Samuel, Jr., 
removed to Canada, where he remained until the rebellion of 1838; he then removed to 
Michigan, and lived in Detroit one year, subsequently going to Ohio, where he lived until 
1852. Thence he returned to Michigan and took up a permanent residence at Port Huron. 
He had learned the tailor's trade, but later entered commercial life, and engaged consecu- 
tively in the grain, commission, lumber, nursery, and land businesses. He was associated 
with Mr. G. W. Halfman, a chemist, in the manufacture of laundry and toilet soaps, baking 
powders, flavoring extracts, etc., their manufactory being known as the "Fidelity Chemical 
Works." He was a man of fertile resources and of great energy of character; hence he 
readily obtained a competency. Besides, he was a man of much intelligence, and for many 
years held the office of a magistrate. 

His remarkable energy and activity are demonstrated in the following pleasing incident : 
About the year 1889, and when 85 years of age, he wished to visit Europe. His son, Thomas 
A. Edison, the famous electrician, gave him a letter of credit for $1,500, and the old gentle- 
man, accompanied by a chum 65 yrs. old, whom he called "The Boy," sailed away, expecting 
to be gone but a few weeks. They were gone over four months, visiting England, Scotland, 
Ireland, France, Germany, and Holland, travelling on foot much of the way. They reached 
home safely, reporting excellent health and an enjoyable trip. 

His advanced age finally brought its attendant weakness, and while en route to 
Ft. Myers, Fla., his son's winter residence, he died at the home of his niece, Mrs. Poyen, 
at Norwalk, O. He was buried at Port Huron, Mich., his old home. 

Nancy (Elliott) Edison, his wife, was of Scotch descent, and was a native of Chenango 
Co., N. Y. She was well educated, and for several years taught in a Canadian high school. 
"She was an industrious, capable, literary and ambitious woman."

dau. of Louis Miller, Pres. of Chautauqua University. 

Thomas Alva Edisons^m was born at Milan, Erie Co., O., and when 
seven years old his family moved to Port Huron, Mich., where the remainder 
of his boyhood was passed. While a mere lad he started in business as a 
newsboy on the Grand Trunk Railway. In 1862 he published a weekly, 
called the Grand Trunk Herald, and did the printing in a freight- car, which 
also served the youth as a laboratory for experimental purposes. A bottle 
of sulphuric acid was accidentally broken, and the irate conductor struck 
young Edison on the ear, causing serious and permanent deafness. For 
saving the child of a station-master from being run down by a train, the 
father taught him telegraphy in return at Mount Clemens. He became 
a brilliant and rapid operator, and soon made his first important invention, 
an automatic transmitter of a message. From the West he went to Boston, 
where he invented the vote-recorder. For valuable inventions in stock- 
printing in connection with the Gold and Stock Telegraph Co. of New York, 
he received $40,000, which enabled him to build a permanent laboratory for 
experimental purposes. 

His crowning achievement in telegraphy was the quadruplex system 
that followed his duplex. Among his other great electrical inventions are the 
microphone, the carbon transmitter, and the phonograph (1878). The most 
used of his inventions is the incandescent light, brought out in 1879. He 
built his laboratory at Orange, N. J., in 1886, where his later experiments 
have been conducted, and the kinetoscope was made a commercial success. 

Mr. Edison has received many honors at international expositions and 
from foreign governments, among which are his appointment as a chevalier 
of the Legion of Honor from France in 1878, and as a commander in 1889. 
In 1892 he received the Albert Medal of the Society of Arts of Great Britain. 
His power of concentration and continued effort have been marvelous, 
he having, during fifteen years, worked on an average of twenty hours a day. 
His patents number nearly one thousand. His ingenuity in triumphing 
over seemingly insurmountable difficulties, and in attaining what seemed 
quite impossible, has secured for him the name of Wizard. As an ingenious 
inventor who can apply scientific truth to a practical end, Mr. Edison truly 
stands at the head.

member of the wholesale grocery firm of Kinney & Ogden, which relation 
continued till the early part of the Civil War. 

In 1864, he was with Kercheval, Kinney & Powell, who, with 600 head 
of oxen and 60 wagons, .loaded with groceries, crossed the plains, and located 
at Virginia City, Mont., the firm clearing about $150,000. The following 
year, Mr. Ogden entered the firm of C. D. Smith & Co., a grocery jobbing 
house in St. Joseph, Mo., the firm later becoming Smith, Kerr & Ogden. 
Mr. Ogden later withdrew, and as Buck & Ogden, at St. Joseph, engaged in 
the jobbing of hats. He established a number of retail grocery houses in small 
towns near that city, and was with the one at Union Star, Mo., when he died. 

James C. Ogden3234 was an excellent business man, and possessed 
a remarkably straightforward religious character. " His religion was always 
on hand — week days, as well as Sundays."

THE JAMES KILBORN OGDEN FAMILY TREE 

Presented at his Golden Wedding, 1868 
Now property of S. Wyler, Dealer in Antique Jewelry and Silverware, No. 4, West 2Sth St., New York City 



Cigl^tl^ (Bmttation 



James Kilborn Ogdeni834 was born in Elizabethtown, N.J. In the spring of 1814, 
and when 21 years of age, with one John Baker, he left home, and travelled horseback as 
far west as Pittsburg. Here the two young men cut trees for a raft, and upon it floated 
down the Ohio river, landing at Cincinnati, O., in the fall. He was by trade a potter, and at 
once established a pottery, the first west of the AUeghanies. He was a man of sterling 
integrity, possessed great business capacity, and was one of the most widely -known men 
of Cincinnati. Successful in business, he acquired much wealth for the day, and was, 
withal, a consistent Christian gentleman. 

The golden wedding of Mr. Ogden and his wife was celebrated in 1868, at which time 
their children presented the worthy couple with an oak tree wrought in gold, a reproduc- 
tion of which is herewith given. The golden oak is about ten inches high, the trunk and 
three main branches being finely engraved to closely resemble the natural oak bark. Each 
leaf is minutely engraved, and each acorn bears the initials of a member of the family. 
The base is an irregular circle, about nine inches across, and is made of oxidized silver. 
Upon this base are six fallen acorns, each one engraved with the name of a deceased mem- 
ber of the Ogden family. The oak is inscribed with the year of marriage, 181 8. The scroll 
at the base of the tree bears the name of James K. Ogden, with birth year, 1793, ^^^d year 
of death, 1869. The gold shield, also at base of tree, bears the names of James K. Ogden 
and Margaret H. Ogden, his wife. This interesting and valuable heirloom is now in the 
possession of Mr. S. Wyler, dealer in antiques, at 4 W. 28th street, New York City, and 
should be secured by some member of the Ogden family who appreciates the traditions of 
a worthy ancestry. CHILDREN (Chart 5) :

Cl^t €)5Dcn family 



John OgdeniSsp was born in Essex Co., N. J. Beside the English blood inherited from 
his father's side, he possessed excellent Scotch blood through his mother's ancestry. She 
was descended from John Magie, who was banished from England because of his ultra Protes- 
tantism during the reign of Queen Elizabeth. 

John Ogden in early life learned the trade of wagon-builder, and followed that 
vocation for 12 yrs. He then engaged in mercantile life in Elizabeth, N. J., where he remained 
for 4 yrs. In the fall of 1834 he removed to Cincinnati, O., and in the spring of 1835 he went 
to Chicago and attended the great bond sale and made a number of investments. In Sept., 
1835, he went to Milwaukee and bought several hundred acres of land, and built the first 
tavern for public entertainment in the little settlement. It was a small log structure and 
was located at the old mouth of the river in the Kinnickinnic valley. Four years later 
Mr. Ogden sold it to a man living on the east side, and agreed in the contract of sale to 
deliver the building to the purchaser. To his surprise he could find no man who would under- 
take to move the building. He thereupon went to Chicago, secured two scows, and success- 
fully moved the tavern up the river, to the amazement of the natives. 

From the time John Ogden '839 located in Milwaukee as a pioneer settler, he took an 
active part in religious matters. On Apr. 11, 1837, assisted by Moses Ordway and the Rev. 
Cutting Marsh, he organized the first Presbyterian church in the territory of Wisconsin. 
He was one of the first Elders, and was later ordained a Deacon. This First Pres. Church 
of Milwaukee was afterward consolidated with the North Pres. Church, becoming known 
as Immanuel Pres. Church. 

Mr. Ogden never took an active part in politics, but was a steadfast Republican. 
During territorial times. Governor Doty appointed him Justice of the Peace. 

In 1843 he established the first carriage manufactory in Milwaukee, and remained 
the head of the firm until 1867, when he was succeeded by his sons under the firm name 
of G. W. Ogden & Co. 

He died at his residence Jan. 23, 1891. Had he lived a few weeks longer he would have 
been 90 years of age. His health gave way but a month before he died. Upright in his 
dealings, and of sterling religious character, his honorable career ended in great peace.

Samuel Ogdeni84o began life as a carriage-builder in New Jersey. He later removed 
to Cincinnati, O., and engaged in mercantile business, but soon took up real estate enter- 
prises in Cincinnati, Indianapolis and Chicago, in which he was eminently successful. 

He was a man of marked integrity, charitable in his contact with all men, helpful to

The Rev. Dr. Joseph M. Ogdeni84i was graduated from Princeton College in 1824. 
He entered the Presbyterian ministry, and was installed first pastor of the Pres. Church 
of Chatham, N. J., in Nov., 1828. This church was organized Oct. 23, 1823, and the Rev. 
Asa Lyman, of Morristown, N. J., became its stated supply. His health having failed, he 
was compelled to resign his labors in 1827, and the congregation called the Rev. Dr. Ogden 
to become their settled pastor. The original house of worship soon became inadequate to 
accommodate the growing congregation, and a new church was erected in 1832. This build- 
ing was subsequently enlarged and beautified in 1882, the efficient labors of the pastor, 
and the growing regard of the people requiring more extended accommodations. Rev. Dr. 
Joseph M. Ogden 1841 was not only popular with his own church and community, but was 
well known and appreciated throughout the state, having officiated at scores of weddings 
in various quarters. He resigned his church at Chatham, Sept. 23, 1873, having enjoyed 
an uninterrupted and successful pastorate of 45 years. Both pastor and wife sleep in the 
church burying-ground at Chatham.

had been pastor for 45 yrs., opened a subscription for the building of a new 
church. After securing pledges for $6,000 they approached Mr. Joseph W. 
Ogden32S5, who, upon scanning the list of subscribers, said, "I will tell you 
what I will do. If you will take this list back and get the men and women 
whose names it bears to withdraw their subscriptions, I will provide all 
the money required to build the church." The descendants of William C. 
Wallace, who was bom the samd year as the Rev. Dr. Ogdeni84i, who grad- 
uated in the same class at college, and was his lifelong friend and parishioner, 
requested that they be permitted to provide the funds for the interior 
decoration. Mr. Ogden accepted the proposition, and the trustees decided 
to change the name of the church to the Ogden Memorial.

Jonathan Ogden 1843 began his life-work in Essex Co., New Jersey, but in early man- 
hood joined his two brothers John'Ssp and Samueli84o in removing to Cincinnati, O., which 
was ever afterward his home. He was successful as a business man, and was widely known 
and esteemed. He was within a few days of his 8ist birthday when he died at the home of 
his daughter, Mrs. Philip D. Armour, in Chicago, while the latter was travelling with her 
husband jn Europe. An obituary notice in a current newspaper ended with these words: 
"The late Jonathan Ogden was a man of blameless life. Throughout all its relations, he 
was a modest, quiet gentleman, genial in disposition, sincere in his friendship, and honorable 
in all his business transactions. After more than fifty years of residence in this community, 
he has passed away without an enemy, and sank peacefully to rest from old age, upon his 
Redeemer's bosom. The life of such a man is a daily example of rectitude to the oncoming 
generation. " CHILDREN (Chart 5) :

from the business in 1837, leaving the business to his nephews, Isaac V. Brower and 
James L.1876 and Isaac C. Ogden 1877. The first named withdrew a few years later, 
and the Ogden brothers added other foreign woods, and conducted a general lumber 
business. James L. retired from the firm in 1859, and Isaac C. Ogden admitted to 
partnership his two nephews, John B. Huntting33is and Elias H. Ogdenss^i, and his 
brother-in-law Charles A. Meigs.

Nov. 3, 1843; dau. of Henry Gray Darcy and Anne Mackenzie Drake, his 
wife, of Newark, N. J. 

Edmund Drake Halsey3362 ^as of the eighth generation in line of 
descent from Thomas Halsey, Sr., the Puritan immigrant of Southampton, 
L. I. He was graduated from Princeton College in i860, and for two years 
studied law in Morristown, N. J., when the claims of his country prompted 
him to enlist as a private in Co. K., 15th Reg't, N. J. Vols. He rose rapidly 
in rank, being promoted Serg't-Major, Second Lieut. Co. F., and First 
Lieut. Co. D., all within the first year of his service. Although only 24 years 
of age, he served as Judge Advocate of courts-martial almost continuously 
in 1864. He participated in the marches and engagements of his regiment 
until Jan. 12, 1865, when he resigned and was honorably discharged because 
of broken health, which he never fully regained. He at once resumed his 
law studies, and was admitted as an attorney in Nov. 1865, and as a coun- 
selor in Feb., 1869. 

Mr. Halsey 's early life revealed a nobility of soul, purity of purpose 
and integrity of conduct that shaped his entire course through life. This 
high order of manhood was the foundation upon which he rose to eminence 
in professional and business life. It made him the trusted friend and ad- 
viser of persons in various walks in life, a moving spirit in charitable enter- 
prises, and a bulwark to human society. An entry in his army diary made 
while his regiment was at Brandy Station in Apr., 1864, reveals the integrity 
and intent of his heart. "There has been quite a religious feehng throughout 
the regiment and, as you may say, throughout the army, of late. Next 
Sunday, Alanson proposes to hold communion and to receive some ten or 
fifteen into the Church. Providence permitting, I will be among the number, 
yielding to what I feel to be my duty, and hoping that such a step may add 
to my happiness here and hereafter. I deeply regret not having done it 
before." By "Alanson," he meant the Rev. Alanson Haines, Chaplain 
of the Reg't and a relative. His after religious life was straightforward 
and consistent, and for more than 29 years he was a Trustee of the Rockaway 
Presbyterian Church. 

Mr. Halsey became known throughout the state as a cultured gentle- 
man, an able lawyer, and a prominent man in public and business affairs. 
A biographer says of him: "He was a man of unusual culture and extensive 
learning in history and literature, a man of sound judgment and clear intel- 
lect, a good lawyer, with great business ability. With great simplicity and 
purity of character, he was modest and unassuming; seeking no advantage 
for himself, he gave himself freely for others, and was faithful in the per- 
formance of every trust and every duty. Working with untiring energy 
during many years of delicate health, he filled an important place in the 
community, and his kindness, generosity and devotion to others, his fidelity 
and perfect integrity, made him respected and beloved by all." 

He followed his legal profession in Morristown from 1865 until his death, 
having been engaged in much important litigation concerning the water 
rights of the Morris Canal and Banking Co., and to the settlement of disputes 



358 



Cigi^ti^ (Benemtton 



concerning titles and boundaries between important mineral properties 
of Morris Co. The latter years of his life were largely employed in the care 
of estates as counsel or trustee. He was many years a Director, and from 
1894, was President of the National Iron Bank; was Director of the Morris- 
town Gas Light Co. and a Manager of the Morris Co. Savings Bank; and 
for 1 7 years a member of the Township Committee of Rockaway. In politics 
he was an ardent Republican, and served the party in the State Legislature 
during 1875 and 1876. He was a member of the Loyal Legion from 1888. 
Mr. Halsey was especially interested in researches in local history. 
He probably knew more of North Jersey in regard to colonial and revolu- 
tionary events than any other one man, and especially the early history 
of his native county, which he had given special study from boyhood. His 
collection of books and early documents of Morris Co. had no equal. His 
favorite study was genealogy, in which he had few peers, and "while ardently 
pursuing the ancestral lines of many families, he derived quite as much 
pleasure in giving as in receiving information." His chief genealogical 
work was the history of "Thomas Halsey and His Descendants in America," 
to which he contributed a large amount of original matter. He was more 
or less associated for several years with Mr. WiUiam Ogden Wheeler in 
original researches for this " Ogden Genealogy," and the two were greatly 
attached in their co-operative labor of love. He also was Secretary and 
then Treasurer of the Washington Association of New Jersey, and a life 
member of the New York and the New Jersey Historical Society. 

Mr. Halsey's sympathetic and generous nature led him to take an 
active part in private and public benevolence, and to ally himself with 
several important charitable societies. He devoted much attention to the 
management of the Morris County Children's Home, of which he was one 
of the original trustees. A biographer adds: "His was an active, useful, 
noble life, and his departure leaves a vacancy that can never be filled. The 
value of the privilege of knowing svich a man can only be measured by the 
grief one feels when he has gone." 

His death came as a sad surprise to his legion of friends. The funeral 
services were conducted at his late residence in Rockaway by his pastor, 
Rev. ^Thomas A. Reeves, assisted by the Rev. William M. Pickslay, of St. 
John's Church, of Dover. The pall-bearers were Vice-Chancellor Pitney, 
Jonathan W. Roberts, Mahlon Hoagland, Sr., John J. Norris, John B. Byram 
and Frederick A. Canfield. There was a large attendance of the leading 
men of the state and members of the bar. The interment was made in the 
family lot in the Rockaway cemetery. 

At a meeting of the members of the Bar of Morris Co. held in the court 
room in Morristown to take formal notice of Mr. Halsey's death, Vice-Chan- 
cellor Pitney presided. Addresses were made by the chairman, Senator 
Vreeland, Judge Cutler, Prosecutor Salmon, and by Messrs. Alfred Mills, 
James H. Neighbour, John F. Stickle and H. C. Pitney, Jr. 
The Washington Association issued the following: 

"Headquarters, 

"Morristown, N. J., Oct. 21st, 1896. 

"Resolved: That in the removal from this life of our late treasurer,

"Mr. Halsey, in the noblest and best sense of the term, was an 'all

all trusts, public and private; a devoted student of history, taking a deep 
interest in the past, especially of that relating to his own country. 

"His life and character were so transparent to all who knew him that 
no eulogy of his genial qualities and sterling worth is required at our hands. 

"Resolved: That this feeble tribute to the memory of our dear and 
esteemed friend be recorded upon the minutes and a copy of the same be

Judge Robert Nash Ogden2049 was about 17 years of age when his father, Judge 
Robert Ogdenss^ (a native of Elizabethtown, N. J.), removed his law practice from South 
CaroHna to Louisiana. Robert Nash Ogden2°49 was graduated from Chapel Hill, N.C., 
and became one of the most brilliant lawyers of the Southern bar. He was joined by his 
younger brother, Judge Abner Nash Ogden2°s2, in a law partnership at Baton Rouge, La., 
where the law firm became eminent and successful. 

Judge Robert Nash Ogden lived in the palmiest days of Southern chivalry, and was 
in every sense of the word a pretix chevalier, "fighting at the drop of a hat, and if need be, 
dropping the hat himself if the subject seemed to his sense of honor to need correction." 
He was withal a man of very fine sensibilities, noble-hearted and generous in his sym- 
pathies. At one time he was sitting on the hurricane deck of a Mississippi steamer engaged 
in conversation with a number of Southern gentlemen, when a cry of "child overboard" 
was heard. The Judge rushed to the steamer's rail to learn that the uproar was occasioned by 
a colored child having fallen into the river, while the agonized cry of distress had come from 
the frenzied negro mother. Seeing no effort being made toward the rescue of the child, he 
shouted to lower a boat, and throwing off his coat, plunged head-foremost from the great 
height into the Mississippi. On regaining the surface, he saw the child floating some distance 
astern, and swimming to its relief, supported the child until a boat reached them and res- 
cued both. This brave act was characteristic of the man. To see a duty was to do it, while 
the chances of life or death were never considered. 

He was Judge of the District Court several times, and was elected to the Louisiana 
State Legislatiire, where he ranked with the best forensic orators of the state.

He died in the prime of life at his beautiful home "Okeden," on the Bay St. Louis, 
Miss., "giving up his life with Christian fortitude and with wise admonitions to his children 
and nephews, who with the friends of the family had gathered to wait for the dread (to 
them) event. Many tributes from eloquent pens followed his decease, and he was always 
thought of and commented upon in panegyric as the 'Elder Hamlet.' "

When his wife, Frances S. {Nicholson) Ogden, died, one of the New Orleans newspapers 
had a "special" stating: "Mrs. Robert N. Ogden, a member of one of the most distin- 
guished families in the State, died to-day."

Dr. Frederick Nash Ogden^osi was graduated at Chapel Hill, N. C. He chose the 
medical profession, and after graduation began his practice at Baton Rouge, La., where 
he soon won distinction as a skillful physician. Like his older brother. Judge Robert Nash 
Ogden204Q, he was ever ready to take the field of honor, and was either principal or referee 
in many duels. 

His wife, Carmelite {Lopez) Ogden, was a Spanish lady, and eloped with him from a 
convent where she was being educated. 

He died in his 3 2d year, at the very threshold of a most promising career. He was a 
man of honor, of refined manners, and very popular. He always maintained the right as 
he saw it, and the obituaries written after his death were all tender and beautiful remem- 
brances of his life. He was a worthy son of worthy sires.

He was a Colonel in the Confederate service, and was distinguished for 
military capacity and headlong daring. He commanded Scott's Cavalry, 
and probably would have risen to high rank if the war had lasted a little 
longer. At the time of the New Orleans riots in 1874 he was appointed 
Major General of the State Militia, and displayed uncommon genius in soon 
bringing order out of chaos. The Spanish blood inherited from his 
mother showed itself in his dignified and punctilious manners. He was 
highly honorable in all his relations in life, and his presence and power 
were widely felt and recognized. His great popularity came near giving 
him the nomination for Governor of Louisiana.

Springs, Ala., 1875; ist m. Mary Isabella Smith; 2d m. Julia Scott. 

Judge Abner Nash Ogden2°S2 very early in life gave evidence of pronounced mental 
strength and unusual talent. He made such rapid progress in his education, that at the 
age of 14, he became tutor in the family of Judge Alfred Hennon of the Southern bar, at the 
same time studying law in the offices of the Judge. He was admitted to practice at the age of 
17, and did so in partnership with his brother Judge Robert Nash Ogden2049 at Baton Rouge, 
La. His remarkable genius soon led him to a brilliant career at the bar, and when only 32 
years of age he was elected Judge of the Supreme Court of Louisiana, successfully defeating 
a prominent Democratic candidate. Nothing could have better evinced the confidence and 
esteem in which he was held by the people of the state. He was called "The Model Lawyer 
of the Louisiana Bar." 

In politics he was an old line Whig, and used his utmost influence to keep Louisiana 
in the Union, but after the ordinance of secession was passed, he joined with his people and 
threw his heart and soul into the movement for a new confederacy, giving four sons to fight 
for the cause. 

His later years were saddened by the loss of his eyesight, and the general breaking 
down of his overtaxed though robust constitution. Yet he lived to see his children's chil- 
dren and "in a high sense of the scriptural phrase 'Peace upon Israel.' He died at Bladen 
Springs, Ala., in 1875, with that profession upon his lips which confesses eternal life." 

His first wife, Mary Isabella (Smith) Ogden, and mother of his first two children, 
was a descendant of Rev. Jedediah Smith, the first Presbyterian minister ever in Natchez, 
Miss. He had been pastor of the Presbyterian Church at Granville, Mass., for 18 years, 
when he determined upon a mission to the Mississippi valley. He set out with his wife and 
eleven children in Apr., 1776, and in the following September reached Natchez, only to die 
ten days after his arrival. The family had suffered great hardships on their journey, and 
greater sufferings upon reaching their destination, but it was a school from which they 
developed great strength of character, and their descendants are now among the most 
numerous, wealthy and respected families of the states of Louisiana and Mississippi.

As his name would indicate, Judge Octavius N. OoDEN^osa was the eighth child of 
his father Judge Robert Ogdenss^, and with his two brothers, he inherited his father's legal 
talents. He was an orator from boyhood. After his legal training and admission to the bar, 
he rapidly attained distinction by his forensic talents, logical acumen and wonderful powers 
of appeal. He was Judge of the District Court of Alexandria, La., during a period of 8 or 
lo years. He delivered the address at the laying of the corner-stone of the Alexandria Mili- 
tary Academy, of which Gen'l Sherman became President. Another of his noted speeches 
was made before the University of Virginia, extracts from which are to be found in current 
books of to-day. In the argument of a case which had been suddenly interrupted by the 
death of his brother Judge Robert N. Ogden204Q, the Bench publicly admitted the effort to 
be the most subtle and complete legal address that had ever come within their experience. 

Judge Ogden's fame brought him fortune, and later in life he visited England, Ireland, 
Scotland, and other European countries. He died at the house of Consul Patterson at 
Genoa, Italy, and his remains were buried there. Of several children only one survived.

Gov. Daniel Haines^os? was graduated at Princeton in 1820, studied law and was 
made Attorney in 1823, Counsellor in 1826, and Sergeant-at-law in 1827, being one of the 
latest to receive that distinction. 

In 1843 he was chosen Governor of New Jersey. He was a staunch friend of education, 
and was instrumental in establishing the State Normal School. He assisted in framing the 
present Constitution of New Jersey. In 1847 he was again elected Governor. At the out- 
break of the Civil War he was found in thorough sympathy with the Union, and gave two 
sons and one son-in-law to serve in the Northern army, one of the former being killed in 
battle. He was himself very active in securing victory to the Federal arms, and afterward 
as much so in healing the wounds it had caused. 

In 1852 he was elevated to the Bench of the Supreme Court and served two terms of 
seven years each. In both private and public life he was a consistent, conscientious and 
noble Christian gentleman. A writer said of him at his death : "What a beautiful exemplifi- 
cation of the Christian gentleman he was." While he was Governor, a physician of Trenton 
remarked: "I have seen a strange sight to-day — the Governor of this State go into the room 
of a man, a stranger, and kneeling at his bedside, pray for his salvation." He was to con- 
duct a religious meeting in a private house on the evening of the day he died, but before 
the appointed hour arrived, God's messenger suddenly called him. His noble, heroic, self- 
sacrificing life was an honor to his family, the state and the nation. 

His children were all born at Hamburg, N.J. He had no issue by the second marriage.

Ogden' who have"inherited in a marked degree his sturdy virtue. Conspicuous among these 
was Sarah Platt Haines, who in Thomas C. Doremus found a worthy husband. To those 
who knew Mrs. Doremus only in later life it seemed incredible that a fragile woman, suffer- 
ing from delicate health, * * could not only conceive, but personally execute, works of 
charity of a magnitude to tax the powers of a strongman. * * She was one of the found- 
ers and President of the Mission at Grande Ligne, in Canada ; one of the founders and Vice- 
President of the Nursery and Child's Hospital, one of the most benevolent and useful institu- 
tions in the city of New York; one of the fottnders and President of the Board of Lady 
Supervisors of the New York State Woman's Hospital; President of the Woman's Mission- 
ary Society, first Directress of the Woman's Prison Association and Home for Discharged 
Convicts; a manager of the New York House and School of Industry. In these and other

His father, Elias Haines, a prosperous merchant of New York City, was member of a 
land company that obtained the Aredondo Grant from the Spanish Gov't, and began the 
first American settlement in the Territory of Florida. When quite a young man, Sydney 
P. Haines^oso was sent to Florida to care for his father's interests. The Seminole War break- 
ing out, the settlers were obliged to flee for their lives. When the United States Gov't 
assumed possession it refused to recognize the rights of the settlers, and young Haines re- 
turned north and engaged in various business enterprises in Hamburg, N. J. While here 
he was converted to a religious life. A four-horse team he had formerly used in taking loads 
of men to political meetings and places of amusement, he then utilized in gathering up and 
transporting people to religious meetings. He was benevolent and became interested in 
every good work, in which he was nobly seconded by his estimable wife. He removed to 
Missouri, finally settling at Hannibal, where he engaged in business. While on a business 
tour he was stricken with inflammation of the lungs, from which he died.

2090. Judge Henry D. Ogden (Peter V.^96^ Matthias^^^ Robert^^^ 
Robert^^, Jonathan", John^), b. 1820; d. i897(?); m. Matilde Waggaman. 

Judge Henry D. Ogden^qqo was probably born in New Orleans, where his father resided. 
He was a prominent lawyer, jurist, soldier and political leader, and died at the age of 77 years. 
He was natively endowed with an extraordinary mind and unusual mental capacity, 
that characterized him from boyhood. He graduated from Princeton College at 20 years 
of age, and at once began the study of law under Chief Justice Eustis of the Supreme Court 
of La. Was admitted to the bar in two years, and in less than three years — in 1845 — ^^^^ 
elected to the Legislature, where he served with distinction. He then devoted himself to 
the practice of law, and in 1859 was elected Judge of the Fifth Judicial Dis't Court, which 
position he held until the evacuation of New Orleans during the Civil War. Judge Ogden 
was member of the Washington Artillery, but did not go out with that command, being 
appointed Lieut. Col. on Gov. Moore's staff, and later left the city on Gen. Lovell's staff as 
Provost General, having in charge Camp Moore, above the city. While here Gen. Lovell 
sent him with a flag of truce to Gen. Butler at the tinie of the execution of Mumford, who 
pulled down the U. S. flag from the Custom House. Gen. Beauregard was at that time at 
Corinth, Miss., and telegraphed for Gen. Ogden to go up there and perform the same duties 
as at Camp Moore; but Gov. Moore would not permit him to leave the state. 

Gen. Ogden was later transferred to the trans-Mississippi department on Gen. Taylor's 
staff, until he was required to retire from active service. He with many of the camp were 
said to have been poisoned, some fatally, by a Yankee cook who had been taken prisoner. 
After partial recovery, he was assigned as Provost General on the staff of Gen. Simon Buck- 
ner, who had succeeded Gen. Taylor. Gen. Ogden was a model soldier, fearless in action, 
and was much endeared to the men under him. 

After the war, Gen. Ogden returned to New Orleans and resumed the practice of law. 
He was soon chosen City Attorney, but the city being under military rule, and not having 
answered a test question satisfactorily that had been propounded by Gen. Sheridan, the 
latter removed Judge Ogden from his position. The Judge then actively entered political 
life and was a leader in the movement to overthrow the "carpet-bag" regime. He was 
chairman of the Democratic Executive Committee which eventually secured Democratic 
control. 

Judge Ogden was one of the seven founders of the Daily Democrat which later became 
the Titnes-Dcmocrat. He was always regarded as a fearless man, a true friend, and a con- 
scientious gentleman. An attack of paralysis from which he suffered eight years ended 
fatally. The funeral services were held at the Jesuits' Church, New Orleans, and he was 
interred in St. Louis Cemetery No. 3. 

His wife, Matilde (Waggaman) Ogden, was a sister of Col. Eugene Waggaman and a 
lady of exceptional culture and intellectual attainments.

Cordelia A. (Ogden) Clark^^qs was graduated from Moravian Seminary, Bethle- 
hem, Pa., at an early age. She was for years actively engaged in the prominent charities 
of her native city, holding office in several of the societies. "Mrs. Clark's intelligence, 
unassuming manner, the sweet gentleness of her disposition, her cheerftdness and patience 
under great affliction, her unselfishness and her open-hearted hospitality endeared her not 
alone to her immediate family, but to a large circle of friends." 

James Henry Clark, A.M., M.D., was born in Livingston, Essex Co., N. J. His father, 
Rev. Daniel A. Clark, was born in Rahway, N.J., in 1779, and was son of David and Eliza- 
beth {Moore) Clark. The family was prominent in Colonial and Revolutionary history,

being descended from Richard Clarke of the Mayflower compact. One of its members, 
Abraham Clark, was a signer of the Declaration of Independence. The Rev. Daniel Abraham 
Clark graduated at Princeton University in 1808, and afterward at Andover Theological 
Seminary. He was ordained a clergyman of the Congregational Church in 1810. While 
stationed in Amherst, Mass., he became one of the founders of Amherst College. He spent 
the last seven years of his life in New York City, dying there in 1840. He married in 181 2, 
Eliza, daughter of Dr. Jeremiah and Abigail {Gorham) Barker, who bore him six children, 
one of whom was Dr. James Henry Clark, husband of Cordelia Almira Ogden229s. 
Dr. James Henry Clark attended the high schools of Amherst, Mass., and Bennington, 
Vt., and later passed two years of study in European universities. He then returned to this 
country and entered the College of Physicians and Surgeons, New York City, graduating 
in 1841 with the degree of M.D. In 1859, Amherst College conferred the degree of A.M. 
He was engaged in active practice in Newark, N.J., to the time of his death, being a specialist 
in diseases of the eye and ear. In 1856 he founded, and for many years conducted the first 
eye and ear clinic in New Jersey. Dr. Clark was the author of several valuable books, 
among them being a biography of his father, the Rev. Daniel Abraham Clark, "Sight and 
Hearing," "Medical Topography of Newark, N. J.," "Medical Men of Essex Co., N.J. — 
1666-1866," and withal was a frequent contributor to the periodical and daily press. He 
was a man of exceptional ability and acquirements and of sterling character, was interested 
in all important public affairs, and was held in high esteem by all who knew him.

Not enjoying robust health, Horace Francis Clark3744 was an ex- 
tensive traveller, and spent several years abroad, mostly in China. 

3745. John Ogden Clark, Esq., b. Newark, N. J., Oct. 14, 1849; d. Montclair, N. J., 

May 31, 1890. 

He was educated at Williston Seminary, East Hampton, Mass. He 
studied law and was admitted to the bar in 1875. He was later appointed 
Counsellor at Law and Master in Chancery. He studied and practised his 
profession in the offices of the late David A. Hayes, Esq., and the Hon. 
Frederick Adams. In 1882 impaired health required him to relinquish the 
active work of his profession and to retire to his residence in Montclair, 
where he spent the last seven years of his life in much pain. His mind re- 
mained remarkably clear, permitting him to gratify his marked literary 
tastes, and to transact much business in his invalid chair as Justice of the 
Peace. He published the first newspaper in Montclair, known as the Mont- 
clair Herald. Although not permitted to fully gratify his ambition in his 
chosen profession, his kind, sympathetic and generous disposition prompted 
loving and faithful attention from those who surrounded him in his declining 
strength.

Hon. D. Ogden Bradley's246o ancestors were among the earliest settlers of New- 
England, and resided in New Haven. His grandfather, Hon. Jabez Bradley, was Judge of 
Cayuga Co., N. Y., for many years. His father, Henry Bradley, was also prominent in 
public affairs and in 1846 was nominated for Governor by the Liberal Party. 

Hon. D. Ogden Bradley was graduated from Hamilton College in 1848, receiving the 
degree of Master of Arts from the same institution. He studied law, and was admitted as 
an attomey-at-law in 1850. He early identified himself with the Republican Party, and 
acted as guard at Lincoln's first inauguration as President. 

In 1865 he purchased the fine residence in Dobbs Ferry, since occupied by his family. 
He was frequently elected President of the village, and for several years was an active 
member of its Board of Education. In 1868, he was delegate to the Republican National 
Convention; in 1872, was candidate for Congress; in 1876, was Presidential Elector; in 
1879 was elected Member of Assembly, and re-elected in 1880. He was also active in local 
and county affairs. Mr. Bradley's patriotism and energy largely brought abotit the erection 
of the Andr^ Monument at Tarrytown, and the base of the Peace Monument erected at 
Dobbs Ferry to commemorate the spot where Washington concluded arrangements for the 
evacuation of American soil by the British. He was President of the Tarrytown National 
Bank, and contributed most largely to its success ; as President of the Sleepy Hollow Ceme- 
tery Corporation, he greatly enlarged and beautified its grounds. 

Early thrown upon his own resources by his practical father, his only capital was "a 
character combining clear judgment, unbending integrity, ceaseless industry, wise economy 
and methodical habits. These qualities commended him to men of wealth and large business 
enterprises, and so prepared the way for the success that marked his career. " He held many 
important trusts, and was chiefly active in Chicago, Brooklyn, New York City, and West- 
chester Co., N. Y. He was one of the original stockholders of the Yonkers Pubhshing Co., 
and was Trustee and adviser from the beginning. He was a forceful speaker and an able 
writer. 

Mr. Bradley's first wife, Elizabeth {Neeley) Bradley, was the only sister of Bishop 
Neeley, of Maine. His second wife, Cornelia {Fiich) Bradley, was the dau. of Abijah Fitch, 
of Auburn, N. Y., and a gifted and devoted wife and mother. She was interred in Sleepy 
Hollow Cemetery, and her husband, who died suddenly from heart trouble, is buried 
beside her.

Charles Milton Ogden^sz? was at 22 yrs. of age a reporter in New York City. It 
seems he removed to Washington State, from the following clipping taken from a Tacoma 
paper: "Readers of the Post-Intelligencer, throughout the Seattle land district, comprising 
the greater part of the Puget Sound country, will learn with regret that the popular and 
efficient Receiver of Public Moneys for the District, Hon. Charles M. Ogden, will leave 
Seattle to-day with his family for New York and retire from the responsible office which 
he has so acceptably filled since July, 1890. On account of ill health, Mr. Ogden recently 
tendered his resignation to the President, and it was accepted with regret and reluctance." 

His appointment to the Seattle District was made by President Harrison in 1889. 
Finding the climate did not agree" with him, he returned east and renewed his newspaper 
work, representing the Philadelphia Press, the Boston Globe, the St. Paul Pioneer-Press, 
the California Associated Press, and the New York World and New York Sun.

Aug. 10, 1840; d. Florence, Italy, Apr. 10, 1891; son of John Emerson 
Strong and Abigail Percival, his wife. 

Gen. William Emerson Strong was born at Granville, N. Y; While a small boy, his 
parents removed to Wisconsin, where he passed his youth and early manhood. He had just 
been admitted to the bar of his adopted state when Fort Sumter was fired upon ; it so stirred 
his patriotism he responded to the first call for troops in 1861, and immediately raised a 
company for the 2d Wis. Inf. in Apr., 1861. He began his military career in the Army of the 
Potomac, taking an honorable part with his regiment in the first battles of the war, at 
Blackburn's Ford and BuU Run. A few months later he was promoted Major of the 12th 
Wis. Inf. and was from that time associated with the Army of the Tennessee to the close of 
the war, being in active service till peace was declared. 

For bravery in battle. Gen. Strong was early assigned to duty on the staff of the 
gallant and lamented McPherson by whom he was held in the highest esteem, and it was 
he who received the last order Gen. McPherson ever gave, a moment before he was killed 
in the battle of Atlanta, July 22, 1864. After Gen. McPherson's death, Gen. Strong 
remained on duty as Chief of Staff for Gen. O. O. Howard until the end of the war. He 
served with marked distinction in every battle and campaign of the Army of the Tennessee. 
Upon the surrender of Vicksburg, July 4, 1863, Gen. Strong was accorded the honor of 
raising the Stars and Stripes over the captured ramparts. He was brevetted Brigadier 
General Mar., 1865, for gallant and meritorious service.

After the war, Gen. Strong removed to Chicago to engage in business, where he con- 
tinued to reside until his death. He always took an active interest in public affairs, but 
never held official position. He resided in Chicago over twenty years, and in all his business 
transactions was the soul of integrity and honor, no other citizen being held in higher esteem. 
He was the close personal friend of Gen. Sheridan, his companion in many mountain ex- 
cursions, and on the Western frontier. An interesting description of a trip to the Yellow- 
stone in 1875 with the Secretary of War was published by him for private distribution. 
Refined and cultured. Gen. Strong accumulated many original orders, letters and other 
papers relating to the Civil War, of great historical value and interest. 

Gen. Strong was one of the earliest members of the Loyal Legion, and served one term 
as Commander of the order, saying he esteemed it higher than any office in the gift of the 
people. He was a man of strong personality, enthusiastic and of striking appearance, 
having a "frank, manly and generous disposition; brave, gallant and chivalric; he illus- 
trated in his own career, the highest and best type of the American soldier. He was our 
Chevalier Bayard, 'without fear and without reproach.' "

McClurg, b. Philadelphia, Pa., Sept. 9, 1832 ; d. St. Augustine, Fla., Apr. 15, 
1901 ; son of Alexander and Sarah Trevor McClurg. 

Gen. Alexander Caldwell McClurg was born in Philadelphia, but his parents 
soon after removed to Pittsburg, where his boyhood was spent and his education begun. 
He subsequently graduated at Miami University, Oxford, O., and then began the study of 
law in Pittsburg, in the office of Walter H. Lowry, then Chief Justice of Pennsylvania. 
Failing health caused him to relinquish the legal profession, and he went to Chicago in 1859, 
where he entered the book store of S. C. Griggs & Co. 

When the Civil War broke out, he offered his services to the Government, but the 
regiments were complete. However, he recruited the Crosby Guard in the summer of 1862, 
and was elected Captain, the company becoming a part of the 88th Reg't, 111. Infantry. 
The regiment left Chicago Sept. 4, 1862, to join the army of Gen. Buell, then defending 
Cincinnati and Louisville against the advancing armies of Bragg and Kirby Smith. After 
Bragg's retreat, Capt. McClurg was detailed judge advocate of a general court-martial, 
presided over by Gen. Woodruff, of Kentucky. His eminent ability caused Gen. McCook 
to detail him as acting assistant Adjutant General of the corps staff. After the battle of 
Chickamauga he was assigned to duty as Adjutant General of a division under Gen. Baird. 
Gen. Sheridan ofTered him a position on his staff, but Capt. McClurg felt it his duty to remain 
with Gen. Baird, and he served with distinction through the siege of Chattanooga and the 
various battles around that city. When Gen. Sherman was preparing for his Atlanta cam- 
paign, Capt. McClurg was assigned to duty as Adjutant General of the 14th Army Corps, 
commanded by Maj. Gen. John M. Palmer, and was known as one of the most capable 
officers of the Western army. He participated in nearly every battle and skirmish until 
the fall of Atlanta. A month prior to that event Capt. McClurg was promoted to the rank 
of Lieut. Col. for gallant and meritorious conduct in the battle of Jonesboro, and soon after 
was made chief of staff. He constantly added to his laurels and was promoted to the brevet 
rank of Colonel and then of Brigadier General. 

At the close of the war, Generals Sherman, Thomas, Davis and others urged him to 
apply for position in the regular army, but Gen. McClurg preferred to return to civil life. 
He re-entered the firm of S. C. Griggs & Co., which in 1872 became Jansen, McClurg & Co., 
and in 1886, A. C. McClurg & Co. Gen. McClurg was an able writer, and used his pen 
against the making of cheap books, and for the establishment of the International Copyright 
law. He also furnished articles on military and literary subjects to the best magazines. 

The strong executive mind of Gen. McClurg steadied the business of the firm during 
the reconstructive period following the war, but a severer test was to follow in three dis- 

424 



iSintl^ (13enemtion 



astrous fires. In 1868, 1871, and 1899, Gen. McClurg's business was burned out; but his 
energy and genius for organization soon reconstructed the business, and placed it again on 
the road to success. 

Gen. McClurg was not only active in military and business life, but was very public- 
spirited, doing much to benefit the city of his adoption. At a special meeting of the Ameri- 
can Publishers' Association two days after his death, a warm tribute of respect was drafted 
in memory of Gen. McClurg, who was First Vice-President of the organization, and a number 
of the leading publishers of the country attended his funeral,

apoplexy at Vicksburg, Miss. His widow is now living on a plantation called "Retire- 
ment," the home being known as "Okeden," from one of the original spellings of the 
surname, Ogden. (See illustration 'of "Okeden" under No. 2049, Judge Robert Nash

mentioned in general orders for conspicuous bravery at the siege and passage of Forts Jack- 
son and St. Philips, in the spring of 1862. 

After the war, he entered the ministry of the Prot. Epis. Church in Louisiana, and 
struggled to build a church at Alexandria, La. "^-- the mean time Senator Don Cameron, 
of Pennsylvania, who had been his personal triend and class-mate in Princeton, looked 
him up, and, finding the straitened circumstances under which he was laboring, gladly 
built and endowed the church, and also built a well-appointed rectory for his home. His 
health failed, and he dropped dead in a drug-store in Alexandria.

3386. Hon. Horatio Nash Ogden (Abner N.'°^\ Robert^^% Robert^'", 
Robert^^ Robert^^, Jonathan^, John'), b. 1840; d. June, 1883; m. Martine 
Kennedy. 

He was graduated from Oakland College, Miss., and then matriculated at the Louisiana 
State University, from the law department of which, he received the degree of Bachelor 
of Laws. Soon after entering upon the practice of law, the Civil War began, and he at 
once volunteered and became adjutant in heavy artillery, under his cousin No. 3382, Gen. 
Fred. N. Ogden, at Vicksburg, where he served with gallantry and honor. 

A New Orleans paper further says of him: "At the close of the war he returned to New 
Orleans and once more commenced the practice of the law, and soon won a high position 
among the best advocates. During the troublous times when the Radicals were in power 
here, he was a strong partisan for the people's rights, and in their vindication visited Wash- 
ington to secure immunity from Federal interference. In 1876, with Gen. F. T. NichoUs, 
who was chosen as Governor, Horatio N. Ogden was elected to the responsible position of 
Attorney General, which office he filled during his term with honor to the State and credit 
to himself. When his term had expired he again took his place at the bar, and up to the 
hour of his untimely death was esteemed as a safe and judicious adviser and a man of the 
strictest probity." 

"He was a trusted, beloved and honored Elder of the Lafayette Presbyterian Church 
of New Orleans." While actively engaged in business and philanthropic matters, and 
before he had reached the prime of life, he was suddenly stricken one afternoon while on a 
street car with congestion of the brain and died in a few hours. 

The above news article adds: "The late Attorney General of our State requires no 
elaborate eulogy. A life marked with a strict observance of every moral injunction, a 
thorough and unselfish devotion to duty, a modest and brave front in danger, and the same 
singleness of purpose at the fireside as on the field of battle, needs no rhetoric to embalm it. 
Such was that of Horatio N. Ogden, the lamented and beloved deceased."

Lieut. Edmund S. OgdenssSq was attending school at the breaking out of the Civil 
War, and although but 1 5 years of age, he enlisted in the Confederate army and assisted in 
raising a company of the 8th Battalion, Heavy Artillery, La. Troops, with which he served 
through the siege of Vicksburg. He was then transferred to the army in Virginia, serving 
under Col. J. B. Walton in the Washington Artillery at Gettysburg, Fredericksburg, Chan- 
cellorsville, Williamsport, and Newbern. In the Gettysburg fight, the section of battery 
to which he was attached was put out of action, after which its men assisted in carrying 
the wounded from the field. While thtts engaged, Mr. Ogden's comrade recognized a 
signal of distress given by a Yankee captain who had fallen on a part of the field under 
particularly heavy fire. They at once went to his relief and carried him to where the Con- 
federate surgeons were operating, and where he was given needed attention. It was a case 
of heroic daring, but all Mr. Ogden remembers of the incident is that the wounded officer 
was of a N. Y. or N. J. Reg't, and that he was deeply grateful for the service rendered a 
fallen foe. 

After the battle of Gettysburg, Mr. Ogden was promoted to 2d Lieut, in the ist La. 
Heavy Artillery, with which he remained until the close of the war, having served from the 
age of 15 to 19, passing unscathed through many of the most desperately fought battles. 
He now resides at Cannonsburg, Miss., and has kindly furnished much genealogical material 
concerning his branch of the family.

J. Ogden Armour4429 was graduated from Yale in 1889, after which he took a short 
European tour. He then returned to Chicago, where, in the course of time, he and his younger 
brother were taken into partnership with their father, P. D. Armour, the founder of the 
great meat packing firm of Armour & Company. After the death of his father, J. Ogden 
Armour succeeded to the presidency of the concern, and under his management its enter- 
prises and business interests have been extensively increased, and its commercial relations 
extended around the world. 

The corporation has extensive packing houses at Chicago, Kansas City, Omaha, East 
St. Louis, Sioux City and Fort Worth, Tex. In connection with them, the corporation con- 
ducts glue works, soap works, fertilizer works, car lines, and a number of auxiliary enter- 
prises, all under the name of "Armour." Beside the immense fresh meat trade, Armour & 
Co. deal extensively in salted, canned, potted and minced meats, soups, extract of beef, 
laboratory products, and by-products, such as hides, wool, neatsfoot oil, curled hair, gela- 
tine, sand-paper, ammonia, and isinglass. Refrigeration of meats in abattoir, cars and ship 
compartments has been their special study. 

Mr. Armour also exercises control in the Armour Grain Co., the Armour Elevator Co. 
and the Milwaukee Elevator Co. These associated companies rank among the largest dealers 
in cereals on the globe, and chiefly in the grain trade between the United States and Euro- 
pean countries. He is also extensively interested in banks and other financial institutions, 
railroads, street railways, stock yards, electric light companies, and other important enter- 
prises. 

His home life is quiet and unostentatious, and his magnificent house on Michigan Ave., 
Chicago, has only rarely been the scene of large social gatherings.

Philip Danforth Armour, Jr. 4431, was educated at Phillips Andover Academy, and at 
eighteen years of age entered Yale University and studied in the Sheffield Scientific School. 
After one year of work he decided to leave school and enter the house of Armour & Compan}', 
where it had always been his father's desire to see him installed. He first spent a year abroad 
visiting all the countries of Europe, and then returned directly to Chicago to assume the 
duties of his business career. He began at the bottom, going to the stock yards every daj' 
and mastering the details of the business in each successive department. At the age of 
twenty-five he was made a partner in the house of Armour & Co. 

He was a member of many clubs, but was so domestic in his thoughts and habits, he 
rarely was seen within their rooms or grounds. His single out-of-door sport was driving, 
and his stables contained many of the finest blooded driving horses in the country. He 
was possessed of fine business ability, and had he lived, would have made a name for himself 
as merchant and financier.

Cmt]^ (l^enetation 



Mayor Carter Henry Harrison, Jr., came of the Harrison family of Virginia, to which 
Presidents William H. and Benjamin Harrison belonged. His father of the same name, 
also a leading politician, was Mayor of Chicago from 1879 to 1886, serving four consecutive 
terms, and was again elected Apr., 1893, the year of the Columbian Exposition. 

His son, Carter H. Harrison, Jr., attended the pubHc schools of Chicago, took a four 
years' course at St. Ignatius College, and three and a half years of study in Altenburg, Ger- 
many. Returning to America, he entered Yale, and graduated in 1883 with the degree of 
Bachelor of Laws. 

His versatile talents have led him not only as a lawyer, but as real-estate dealer, and 
editor and manager of one of Chicago's great dailies. His knowledge, experience, foresight 
and executive ability have brought about his election as Mayor of Chicago for four consecu- 
tive terms, being first elected in 1897. During the vast responsibilities that have rested 
upon him, he has been noted for honesty and courage in administering the severe and exact- 
ing duties of his office, preserving a remarkable equanimity of mind under the greatest 
provocation. Scholarly and eloquent, he has tirelessly prosecuted each of his campaigns, 
and has exercised that rare common-sense that has given him the mastery of affairs in his 
fights for the common people. It has been his habit of receiving the general public four 
days each week, listening with patience and kindness to their pleas and grievances, and 
assuring them of his purpose to give relief. All of his business is prosecuted with system, 
deliberation and thoroughness in dealing with the 2,000,000 citizens of Chicago. 

His wife, nee Edith Ogden4488^ was a daughter of Judge Robert Nash Ogden3372, of 
the Louisiana Court of Appeals. "She has all the charm for which Southern women are 
notable, with grace, beauty and literary talents of a high order." She has written two books 
of fairy tales for children. The first, "Prince Silverwings," received high praise from the 
critics and had wonderful success. The second, "Star Fairies," is expected to be as kindly 
received. Mr. and Mrs. Harrison's first child died in infancy.

The following Index contains all the attainable names of male descendants of John 
Ogden, the Pilgrim, and the fem.ale lines of descent as far as grandchildren of Ogden 
mothers. The book of Charts accompanying this volume gives the entire known lineage, 
including female lines. 

Females are given in order of the birth name, and, when married, the married name 
follows in parentheses. '

generation to which he or she belongs.
